Beauty among the thorns

The importance of Beauty is her charm. Otherwise we would be lost is a cacophony of great ideas; all vying to tell of the Good and the True. But Beauty demands that it works; that the function is the form of a thing; and if it sparkles, if it catches our regard. Then its civility is our reward. It cares to be a good-fit, to benefit humanity, to reveal the provision of the good life. That’s the history of philosophy in a nutshell.
