I have to tell you something, I didn't like this chapter. Why? Well, to be honest I think there are hundrerds of other topics Savater should have used to talk about in this chapter. Previously, I have liked some chapters and dislike a few others, but u untl now I always understood why Savater wanted to focus on that specific subject. However I don't believe beauty is something that should be discussed in a philosophy book simply because of the fact that it is not too important. In my opinion, Savater shouldn't have wasted 20 pages of his book on talking about something that is so... vain.
I'm not saying his ideas weren't good, he has some good analisis and points of view, it was nice to read about all these things, nevertheless, all the time, I couldn't help but to think: Ok but, there are many more important things than physical beauty aren't there?. I just think that having just 1 more chapter to go, he should've picked a more impotant and meaningful topic like, I don't know, the importance of a partner, or why having children, something deeper.
However this is just my point of view, feel free to disagree with me.

I totally agree with you Rene, beauty is something that you as an individual know what it is, and what you find beautiful. You don’t need a book to tell what the definition of beauty is nor to say you what are the feelings that beauty make on you, we should be studying something more profound that we know nothing about.
