Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diversified readership: taking in painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts, novels and poems, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. It traces the philosophy of aesthetics through history and examines some of the many treatises that have sought to define it. Beauty is Umberto Eco at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how the fashion of the 1960s owes much to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant new light on the unfamiliar. Illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards, Beauty is an indispensable book.

Enjoy flowers without necessarily wanting to own it. Perfect structure and organization should have a purpose. The only end it serves is its own existence. We see the flower as if it is a perfect embodiment of a rule, whereas it is a rule unto itself. “this flower is beautiful” not reasoned on principles but because we perceive it that way. (展开)

在Tate Britain 读了几页,实在喜欢,遂背回国。跟中译本确实有出入,其他几本也是一样,不建议读中译本。看不懂意大利语就看英译本。
