Bernini deliberately cut deeply into the stone to generate sharp shadows and create a rythmical array of lines that mimic the mathematical parabolas and elipses that the physicist uses to describe the natural order.
Episode 89: God, Man and Markets #4, the Ideas of Ivan Illich with Charlie Deist, David Clayton, Michel Accad, Fr Brad Elliot.
In the last chapter of the book, Illich offers an apocalyptic view of industrial societies and the forced segregations that have been imposed on families and on people for the sake of efficiency. Is his a Marxian critique of capitalism or does he offer a third way that even supporters of the free market should give heed to?
Episode 86: Grace and Danger, Series 2, #1 Ivan Illich's insights on how government and large institutions impede beautiful spontaneous order in society
David Clayton, Fr Brad Elliot OP, Dr. Michel Accad, and Charlie Deist discuss the rediscovered ideas of Ivan Illich, who died 15 years ago, and in particular an essay from a collection called Shadow Work. His essay describes how the imposition of Castilian as the national language of Spain by Queen Isabella, became a tool of the state for control of the people. We also show how the development of communication through the printing press created a desire to control its use and has parallels today in how big institutions and governments are trying to control the flow of information through the internet.

Art speaks in way that words alone cannot for as well as presenting the image, it is instrinsic to art that it connects and establishes relationships, between the viewer and the prototype, via the image and using the imagination. This stimulates the faculty by which we ‘see’ the invisible through the visible and so is essential to the development and retention of faith in God.
