The monograph outlines the dual role of mathematics in relation to
beauty. On one hand mathematics refers to an objective, through
mathematical formulas expressible side of beauty. On the other hand,
it points out that entirely abstract things like mathematical
equations can be seen as beautiful, too. This refers to two aspects of
beauty. 1. The biological, evolutionary: our brains react to certain
aesthetic stimuli in scientifically adequately explainable way. 2.
Philosophical spiritual: This shows a connection of beauty with
goodness and being. To such a perception we can mature. Handed down
wisdom can be mentioned as a hint: You cannot find beauty, if you
don’t carry it in yourself. Such an analysis can help us understand
why we use the word beauty in so many different ways.
