The Philosophy of Beauty Part One

No copyright infringement intended. Video uploaded under fair use act. This program echoed my thoughts on beauty and society more completely than anything ever before. It moved me, and made me feel a little better about the way I feel. Please watch if you’re even remotely interested, I think it’s a beautiful program. *** Philosopher Roger Scruton presents a provocative essay on the importance of beauty in the arts and in our lives. In the 20th century, Scruton argues, art, architecture and music turned their backs on beauty, making a cult of ugliness and leading us into a spiritual desert. Using the thoughts of philosophers from Plato to Kant, and by talking to artists Michael Craig-Martin and Alexander Stoddart, Scruton analyses where art went wrong and presents his own impassioned case for restoring beauty to its traditional position at the centre of our civilisation.
