About the Author: Crispin Sartwell teaches at Dickinson College.
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.
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 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\'.
