Dana Gioia - "Why Beauty Matters"
( Talk on art, beauty, and spirituality)
Contemporary culture has discarded the concept of beauty in both art and philosophy. It is not a word much used nowadays, even by art critics, except ironically. But the absence of beauty as a positive concept has left a hole in our thinking—not only in art and philosophy but also in education, politics, worship, and civic life. And its absence has doomed much of what we do in the public sector to failure.
In this talk he discusses the role of beauty in culture and intellectual thinking.

“Beauty is an ultimate value—something that we pursue for its own sake, and for the pursuit of which no further reason need be given.
Beauty should therefore be compared to truth and goodness”
- Sir Roger Scruton
