What is beauty?

We are trying something new at Socrates Cafe Dublin. We are doing trilogies - three back-to-back monthly topics that connect to tell a story. Our next trilogy will be around the mystery of human flourishing. For our first in the series we are going to ask: What is beauty? Then in May: What role does 'home' play in our well-being? Finally, in June, what roles do nature and nurture play in our well-being?

We’ve all made the exclamation: “now, that is beautiful!” And life seems better, richer for it. What do we mean by ‘beauty’? What qualities does something require in order to be classified in such a way? What things can be given such label? Are there things that do not deserve to be called beautiful? Is beauty restricted to physicality? Is beauty merely subjective or does it have an objective framework? Is it a matter of the feminine side of life? Is it something internal or external?
Come along next Tuesday evening at the lovely Third Space Cafe Smithfield for a facilitated discussion about beauty. Newcomers are welcome.

NOTE: we ask for a 3 Euro donation to cover expenses. Pay on the evening by coin or Revolut.
