In the eye of the beholder? |

Sooner or later every discussion
about beauty reaches the point where someone shouts out passionately : „But
after all we all know that beauty is relative.“ The objection is not
unjustified. Doesn’t each civilization, each historical epoch, every
single person have its own idea of beauty? On the other hand: If beauty
was indeed only a matter of taste, why do top models earn such a
tremendous amount of money? Perhaps our judgements of beauty do converge
more than we want to admit. |
