Summary:

Beauty could be consoling, disturbing, sacred, profane; it could be exhilarating, appealing, inspiring, chilling. It could affect us in an unlimited variety of ways. Yet it really is hardly ever viewed with indifference. Within this Extremely Short Launch, the renowned philosopher Roger Scruton explores the idea of beauty, asking why is an object-either in art, in nature, or the individual form-beautiful, and evaluating how we can review differing judgments of beauty when it’s evident all over that our likes vary so broadly. Is there a right judgment to be made about beauty? Is it right to state there is more beauty within a classical temple than a cement office block, more within a Rembrandt than in an Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Can? Forthright and thought-provoking, so that as accessible since it is intellectually rigorous, this introduction to the beliefs of beauty draws conclusions that some could find controversial, but, as Scruton shows, help us to find greater sense of indicating in the beautiful objects that fill up our lives.
