What is Beauty? This question has occupied philosophers, poets, writers, and artists at all times — from the era of Ancient Greece to the present day. This book, edited by the famous scientist and writer Umberto Eco, is dedicated to this “eternal” question. It shows how differently people perceived the Beauty of nature, flowers, animals, stars, numbers, light, the human body, precious stones, clothing, God and the Devil. The author’s reflections are supplemented by statements by theologians, mystics, philosophers, writers, and scientists.

The reader will see that not only in different eras, but sometimes even within the same culture, different concepts of Beauty come into conflict with each other. And let him decide for himself, while reading this book, whether the idea of Beauty, having gone through all these transformations, has retained any constant features. In any case, he will find a fascinating activity for his mind and heart.
