Thread Name: BS: Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!!
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!!
Kant may well be right. I'd certainly like to think he is. Most humans are indeed aware of beauty, whether it is architectural beauty, physical beauty, the beauty of a pastoral scene, etc...they're aware of it as a concept they can relate to, and that's quite interesting. I wonder if animals are aware of beauty? And if not, then why are humans aware of it? Is there a divine spark of intelligence in humanity that links every human being to a much greater source of awareness? Again, I'd certainly like to think there is. I suspect that there is. I cannot prove that there is.
