Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but it's also in the
language we use and everywhere in the world around us. In this
elegant, witty, and ultimately profound meditation on what is
beautiful, Crispin Sartwell begins with six words from six
different cultures - ancient Greek's 'to kalon', the Japanese idea
of 'wabi-sabi', Hebrew's 'yapha', the Navajo concept 'hozho',
Sanskrit 'sundara', and our own English-language 'beauty'.
Each word becomes a door onto another way of thinking about, and
looking at, what is beautiful in the world, and in our lives. In
Sartwell's hands these six names of beauty - and there could be
thousands more - are revealed as simple and profound ideas about
our world and our selves.
