Lake Forest, Ill. – Professor Janet McCracken of Lake Forest College will discuss her new book, Taste and the Household: The Domestic Aesthetic and Moral Reasoning on Wednesday, January 23 at 4 p.m. in the Lincoln Room of Donnelley Library, located on the Middle Campus of Lake Forest College. The public is invited to attend this free talk. By exploring the connections between aesthetic sensitivity and moral character, this book connects them both to the larger cultural malaise. It locates the relationship between human nature and moral reasoning in what the author calls "domestic aesthetic skill," bringing together moral and aesthetic judgement about little things that are close to home—food, clothing, and furniture. Janet McCracken is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean of the Faculty at Lake Forest College. Lake Forest College is a private liberal arts institution located 30 miles north of downtown Chicago. The College has 1,240 students representing 44 states and 41 other countries.
