Mathematical beauty Mathematical beauty describes the notion that some mathematicians may derive aesthetic pleasure from their work, and from mathematics in general. They express this pleasure by describing mathematics (or, at least, some aspect of mathematics) as beautiful. Sometimes mathematicians describe mathematics as an art form or, at a minimum, as a creative activity. Comparisons are often made with music and poetry. Bertrand Russell expressed his sense of mathematical beauty in these words: Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. Beauty in method[edit] Mathematicians describe an especially pleasing method of proof as elegant. Beauty in results[edit] The opposite of deep is trivial. Perhaps ironically, Monastyrsky writes:
Beauty through the ages - The Renaissance - The Beauty Biz - Article A historical period when real women were idolized Author: Charlotte Kuchinsky August 5 2007 The Renaissance was a cultural movement that began in Florence in the 1400’s, then spread throughout most of Europe, and lasted into the early years of the 16th century. Because the heart of the Renaissance era dealt with an idolization of the art and literature from the ancient civilizations of Rome and Greece, the perception of what was considered beautiful changed. Body Type Women of the Renaissance period did not concern themselves with things like a few extra pounds of weight. This is a stark contrast to modern attitudes! article continued Advertisement Hair The savvy Renaissance beauty was particular about her hair. Blondes were the epitome of beauty during this era and, therefore highly sought after. However, most of these products did not work alone. Some women opted to simply hide their hairlines and darker locks under jeweled turbans or caps, which were popular at the time. Cosmetics Clothing
Perceptions Of Female Beauty In The 20th Century Perceptions Of Female Beauty In The 20th Century by Louise Wood The 20th century has seen a huge upsurge in the importance placed by Western society on physical beauty, particularly for women. The fashion, cosmetics and plastic surgery industries have thrived on 20th century preoccupation with physical appearance. According to Kant, the judgement of beauty is different from cognitive or moral judgement because it is effected subjectively, that is, exclusively in reference to the person making the judgement. Definitions of beauty in the 20th century, when referring to human physical beauty, are nearly always constructed in terms of outward appearance and sexual attractiveness. For the first two decades of the 20th century, many of the attitudes towards beauty associated with the 19th century remained. One of the main elements of this century's perception of beauty that sets it apart from the 19th century is the polarity of cosmetics. One reason given by Fred E. Academic Writing index
Most Beautiful Women of Ancient Times - Who Are the Most Beautiful Women of Ancient Times Myth, history, and legend provide evidence of ancient women who were considered beautiful, but for most of them, we have no reliable portraits. Beauty is an aesthetic consideration. When judging beauty, it's appropriate to think in terms of the whole personality, but that's not this top beauties list. This one is strictly for physical attractiveness as represented. Here are the women I consider the most beautiful either on the basis of their sexual power over men or their beautiful portraits. 1.

Bellas mujeres de la historia Muchas mujeres de la historia se hicieron famosas, no sólo por sus hechos sino especialmente por su belleza. Aquí dejamos los nombres de algunas de ellas. Nefertiti... es una de las poquisimas bellezas de la más remota antigüedad que con más derecho ese nombre, pues a diferencia de otras de las que solamente se oyen leyendas, de ella existe un portentoso busto que es prueba de la hermosura de su rostro. Y, además, fue una faraona de mucho poder. Cleopatra... Helena de Troya... Friné la cortesana... Simonetta Vespucci... Madame DuBarry...
Descubre si tienes un rostro sexy Si abres de un santiamén el centro de la revista Playboy, verás una imagen del cuerpo de una mujer que nuestra sociedad considera sexy. O si miras las últimas carteleras de ropa interior masculina en la calle, verás que ese es el ideal de hombre. Hay algunos elementos en el rostro o cuerpo que son considerados sexy desde una perspectiva social o antropológica. Pero ¿cómo puede la sensualidad ser cuantificada? Veamos qué es lo sexy en el cuerpo humano, ¡y lo que hace al tuyo sexy! La simetría facial Esos labios, esos ojos, esa simetría. Simetría facial define al rostro de una persona cuando sus rasgos aparecen iguales, equivalentes, equilibrados y virtualmente idénticos a ambos lados, si una línea estuviese dividiendo el rostro a la mitad. Un estudio en particular, que fue publicado en la revista Newsweek en 1996, contraponía las caras famosas del músico Lyly Lovett y del actor Denzel Washington. ¿Este estudio prueba realmente que la simetría facial define la atracción? Ojos grandes

La belleza y las culturas « Lo que la vida me enseña… Hace unos años, en una clase de inglés, leimos un texto que hablaba del tema “La belleza”. La verdad es que no lo encontré ahora pero aún así me da pie para hablar esto que, de alguna manera, pone en juego muchas tradiciones culturales. Si tuvieramos que dar una definición de belleza seguramente vendrán a nuestra mente conceptos como armonía, satisfacción, estética, entre algunas varias más. No es mi objetivo en este post dar una definición de ello sino compartir con ustedes ejemplos de belleza en distintas culturas por lo que este término llega a ser relativo ya que lleva una carga cultural importante al momento de determinar qué es bello. Muchas tribus usan los tatuajes como símbolos religiosos, relaciones de poder, heroísmo y estética como podemos ver mas abajo en una foto de la cultura maorí de Aoteaora (Nueva Zelanda).
