Why Beauty Matters? (Por que a beleza importa?) Roger Scruton

Alvaro Canella



Produzido pela BBC, este programa apresenta o filósofo Roger Scruton num provocante ensaio sobre a importância da beleza nas artes e nas nossas vidas.
Scruton argumenta que no século XX, a arte, a arquitectura e a música viraram as costas à beleza, fazendo um culto à fealdade e levando-nos a um deserto espiritual.
Usando o pensamento de importantes filósofos, Platão e Kant, e conversando com os artistas Michael Craig-Martin e Alexander Stoddart, Scruton analisa onde a arte correu mal e apresenta sua apaixonada proposta para restaurar a beleza à sua posição tradicional no centro da nossa civilização.

  3. This documentary is so profound I have watched it several times in the past year.
    I am a musician and lover of all genres of art but for modern art which I find soulless, generic and without beauty.

  6. I was ref'd over here after the hit job on Scruton and I believe many more will follow. Scruton has a lot more important things to say that will remain long after the leftists who slandered him are rotting in their graves. Enjoy the beauty of life Sir Roger and we'll enjoy the beauty you've reminded us of. Thanks for standing for the right side of life.

  10. Amazing Polly Sent Me!. The Urinal is a Psy-Op to mean "Piss on Western Society". Also, the Oak Tree artist is only replicating the Beauty of God's Creation! (Yet perverting plans..) Let's stop this BS People! Let's Make More Beauty!

  13. Sometimes when I watch documentaries like this I imagine myself walking into a class as a substitute teacher and tell the kids, "Don't worry about the worksheet the teacher left you, we're going to watch a documentary."

  14. I'm sorry for what's happened to you because of that worthless scum, George Eaton, whom I wont even dignify with the word journalist, because he isnt one…..

  15. I was unfortunate enough to have picked a contemporary arts degree at Nottingham Trent University where this type of ugliness was celebrated, and what I would call proper art was derided and in turn me with it. I didn’t have enough understanding of the world to realise that I was in the wrong place on the wrong course with the wrong people. For my views on art I was ostracised , hated, criticised, and bullied. It’s no surprise that without exception the students were all far left in their politics. I was just as naive about politics as I was art, or at least conceptual art, and I could never work out why I seemed to be universally hated. I didn’t even have a conscious political viewpoint at the time. Yet I was loathed for being “ a Tory” simply because I kept on calling out the ugliness and the con of contemporary art. I endured three years of total bullying, bewildered and destroyed. It’s only now, so many years later, that I see what the score was. If nothing else, I’m glad I never caved in and joined the herd mind, went along with the program, and adopted views held by these frankly vile contemporaries of mine. I include the tutors here, who stood by and allowed students to target me, even encouraged it. It left me with a lifelong hatred of contemporary art, left wing thinking, ugliness, group behaviour and lies.

  17. I would say that God created Beauty, and allowed us to discover it. Like the Golden ratio for example. We didn't create it, it is here for us to discover, explore and appreciate.

  21. No talent hacks have taken over the "art" world. They don't know how to paint or sculpt realistic images. But they can splatter paint on a canvas and roll around in it. Then when asked what they do for a living they can look pensive and deep as they proclaim that they are a "starving artist". ?bwahahaaa! Ahh but those of us with half a brain know what that REALLY means..an unemployed wanna be.

  25. R.Mutt was a female artist not allowed a space at the gallery so DuChamp gave her his space, he did not take credit for it, though Lord Scruton mistakenly credits him for the toilet/bidet.

  26. Godless communists hoped that the workers would become sufficiently alienated in order to revolt against the bourgeois. But the workers did not revolt. So the bastards destroyed art, music, and architecture in an attempt to get the level of alienation they felt necessary to get the revolution started. We still have no revolution. Just revulsion.

  28. What a pity that Sir Roger did not talk in more depth about whether beauty can be a substitute for religion – so many artists believe it can be, and in doing so, I think something essential is missed out. I'm not sure I agree that both are equal doors home, especially when the religion we are talking and thinking about is the Christian religion. I think that when you separate beauty from religion (i.e., two doors instead of one) you are in danger of creating some sort of schism. In this case, the artist may leave reality behind, and reality (with all its daily tedium and unpleasantness) needs to be fully embraced, in my opinion. The incarnate Christ embraces the real (as we experience it) by being flesh. In my view, there is one door, and Christianity and Beauty are inseparable.

  31. Art seems to me to be the reflection of the life of man's soul and the level in which the Spirit has room to work in that soul.
    It is therefore with great sadness I behold what passes for art in this day and age.
    An ordeal for beholders of beauty.
    When will they tire of their standards….or dare they not.

  32. He is correct in his deduction of ugliness in art and everything else. However he fails to point out WHO did it. This was all done on purpose. This was social engineering MK Ultra foisted on us by our own governments, the CIA, Tavistock, The Frankfurt School etc. etc. This didn't just happen. It had motive and a philosophy to damage and dispose of us.
