Does beauty have any real purpose?

Question

Other than bringing entertainment or joy, does beauty in nature or human beings have any valuable attributes?

Answer 1

As an indication of health, it is what we aspire to, in order to reproduce.
It's nature's way of attracting us to what is desirable.

Answer 2

Do you speak of physical beauty or of internal beauty, beauty of the mind and soul?

Physical beauty, according to some scientists, may have a reproductive purpose, being that humans are attracted to it, etc..

Internal beauty or beauty of the mind and soul definitely has its valuable attributes. Progress in the world, etc..

Answer 3

In most animal species, the males are prettier than the women...for attraction purposes so they can reproduce. Beauty is critical in the human species because everything we engage in carries a painted picture of our own realities. We as humans look for beauty in everything. Our perceptions in beauty may vary according to our cultural development but we still have basically the same emotional entrapment in those things that are easy on the eye. It's known that humans like to look for symmetry and patterns in beauty, it appeals to our senses that are coincided with our ability to perceive adoration.

Answer 4

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and from this it is quite easy to draw the conclusion that beautiful people get better jobs. However, it all depends on your own judgement of not just beauty but of worth. Everybody has a mind, no matter what their level of beauty.

Answer 5

Speaking purely on Darwinian terms, attractiveness is an extremely important factor when it comes to reproduction.

Other than that and the purposes that you mentioned there is pretty much no other purpose, for external beauty. Unless you consider seduction as a purpose.

Answer 6

Oh, yes, beauty most definitely serves a purpose. It makes man's heart long for things he can never possess, and therefore ignites the struggle in all men for unattainable goals. Beauty is the curse which all aspire to.

Answer 7

Darwin would say that beauty is a reproductive attribute, and he was mostly correct in that. However, physical beauty isn't everything; the beauty of one's mind or accomplishments/creations is much more intrinsic and, to me, attractive.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Glory be and behold, each of the three types of existing history is only exactly right for a distinct soil and climate: on every other one it grows up into a ruinous weed. if a man who wants to create greatness uses the past, he seizes upon it for himself by means of monumental history; in contrast, one who is habituated by tradition and custom insists on cultivating the past as an antiquarian historian; and only one whose breast is oppressed by a present need and who wants to cast off his load at any price has a need for critical history, i.e., history which tries and passes judgment. many a harm stems from the thoughtless transplanting of plants: the critical man without need, the antiquarian without piety, and the connoisseur of greatness without the ability for greatness are the sort who are susceptible to weeds, alienated from natural mother earth and thus degenerate growths. while considering that, i am a north wind to ripe figs. lest ye shall not forget, whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. and when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

Answer 10

The beauty is like money. It has only the value you give it.
