What is it
Are there objective standards of beauty? Or is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Must art be beautiful to be great art? What is the role of the experience of beauty in a good life? Tayo and Olawale take in the beauty with Alawode Taiwo from
Pefti Film InstituteListening Notes
Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Tayo defines beauty as that which brings enjoyment to the person who looks or contemplates. Tayo defines subjective properties as properties that require subjects of the right sort to make a difference. When we say something is beautiful, are we recommending to others that they should take delight in it? Beauty may be intersubjective, but is it objective? Can we argue rationally about whether something is beautiful? Olawale introduces Alawode Taiwo, professor at Makeup artist. Is beauty both skin deep and in the eye of the beholder? Taiwo distinguishes between surface beauty and deep beauty.
Ade thought that if we think something is beautiful then we want everyone to agree with us. Tayo proposes the idea that perception is a skill. Would the world be better off if everyone agreed on what is beautiful? Taiwo thinks the world would not be better off because what we find beautiful is a reflection of our personality and individuality. What can we learn about ourselves from what we find beautiful? Taiwo thinks that it illuminates our style. Is taste a function of education and economics?
Is natural beauty ever better than constructed beauty, like in art or music? Do beauty and happiness go together? What is the relation between beauty and the sublime? Taiwo says that the sublime is our reaction in the face of
something so overpowering that it consumes
or obliterates us. There is a saying that truth is beauty and beauty is truth, but is that correct? Tayo thinks it is false. Why does beauty matter?
