Description: Once beauty was about goodness and truth, now we think it means little more than models, products and outdated art. Have practical concerns and the economy of desire made beauty trivial and expendable? Could we follow Goethe and Kant and cultivate our aesthetic judgment to enrich our lives? Or is the goal of living beautifully a conceit of the privileged elite? And finally, is there a difference in the feeling of pleasure one gets from looking at a Magritte painting, or at Kim Kardashian's bum? Philosopher Bence Nanay, activist Sam Roddick and Public Sphere Salons founder Justien Kolata explore beauty and pleasure. In association with the New College of the Humanities. bit.ly/2FdPgLD
