An exploration of the form and meaning of beauty in our lives, from our love of particular faces to the curves of a jar or the light in a painting. With references to ornate cups for drinking chocolate, to Delacroix, Hume, and Kant's discourse on the meaning of pleasure, John Armstrong calls on us to understand and enjoy beauty whilst we are in the midst of it.
