Aesthetics

I just got back from a night swim at Janet Penley's.  We had an interesting conversation about aesthetic: what and whom do we consider beautiful and why?

We each value our own versions of beauty--in houses and objects--but what is beauty?

Some people value physical beauty more than other people do.  For some of us, the look of things matters very much while other people may place a higher priority on cleanliness or practicality or comfort.

I'm going to be thinking about that question for a while.  I don't know the answer, but the question intrigues me.
