Welcome back to the Signature of Man, a podcast dedicated to pursuing truth in the philosophy of art and beauty. This is Episode 9 of the Signature of Man podcast and I’m your host Miguel Benitez Jr. In this episode I had the opportunity to interview Michael Jahosky. Due to my posting this interview on multiple platforms, I introduced Michael at the beginning of our discussion, so I won’t do that here.  In this episode Michael and I discuss the idea of myth, parable, and allegory in the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. We then conclude by discussing some implications of Michael’s research for the philosophy of art.
