Course Overview

We’ll explore what Plato called "the form of the Beautiful," which for him was an eternal blueprint in heaven. Philosophers, psychologists and theologians have long struggled with the meaning of Beauty-its source, its enchantment, its uses and its abuses. Many artistic expressions have been banned over the years-some thinking it quite ugly and others thinking it quite beautiful. So there is always controversy over this question: Is that beautiful or what? We will use as our basic text: Roger Scruton's Beauty: A Very Short Introduction available online.
