The Shiver Of Beauty

In this chapter ‘The Shiver of beauty’ what kept me thinking was the word pleasure that Savater described. He said there were two types of pleasure the physical which are the typical pleasure were you want more and we can enjoy everything with our senses like eating, sleeping, taking with your boyfriend etc. I think all of us already knew this but did you know that Savater also uses another type of pleasure, yes the pleasure in which he said that came from being rational human being, those pleasure where you use your reason for example, when you are hearing a song and you say how beautiful the song is. Maybe for some people that are interested in music feel this passion, but it is kind of wired because how are you getting this pleasure? Can we say that we have just half a pleasure? Or how can we explain the feeling that we will be getting when hearing that song, or seeing a paint or even someone. A doubt I have is if we will still name beautiful a painting that appear someone dead for example the crucifixion of Jesus that there are a lot of painting and we sometime say its beautiful but not the fact of the crucifixion but of the painting. How can we call this type of beauty? Or can we even describe it?

  1. exactly Andrea I like what you sayed about the feeling on the example of the music, because you may like pop and i may like rock and that doesn't mean is not beautiful, pop shows you beauty and rock may show me beauty, so i agree with you in the aspect but beauty is something that you find pretty or nice anda it depends on each person.

  2. I agree with you Toño, just because something does not look or sound beautiful to me, for someone else might, and Andrea, I think that someone might find the painting of someone dying as beautiful because that person might be sick in some way, and get a pleasure from seeing someone dying.
