Abstract

The following article is about beauty, and the questions that worry us today: just what is the role of beauty in the life that is growing around us? How do we distinguish it from its fake versions? And how do we defend it against the surrounding culture? Here, I argue we must rescue art from the modern intoxication with ugliness.
