BEAUTY and why it matters

In this fascinating talk, about so abstract yet tangible topic as the BEAUTY is, we will approach the subject though various aspects and within the following structure:

1. Definition of BEAUTY
2. EXPERIENCING BEAUTY (common influential factors, physical responses…)
3. WHERE IS BEAUTY (is it an intrinsic quality or a subjective experience; from classic art where beauty was “an ideal to all forms” to divorcing from beauty by conceptual art and kitsch)
4. MATHS & BEAUTY (mathematical properties of beauty, Golden Proportion, Fractals…)
5. ATTRIBUTES OF BEAUTY regarding the feelings / state of being it generates – as it evokes aesthetic experience, emotional resonance, and a contemplative engagement in case of some art.
6. BEAUTY and our EVOLUTION (relationship between human evolution and standards of beauty; inner beauty; power of beauty)
7. WHY BEAUTY MATTERS – ten reasons will illustrate this claim
8. BEAUTY & UNIVERSAL LAWS – we will explore:

• Order / Disorder and Beauty / Ugliness dichotomies;
• Observe Nature’s and Man-made creations – in regards to the Universal Laws, Beauty and Ethics.
