Philosophy Wire: Mathematics & Beauty


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2014-03-26]:

Brain scans show a complex string of numbers and letters in mathematical formulae can evoke the same sense of beauty as artistic masterpieces and music from the greatest composers. [1]
The strictest form of science is drived by beauty rather than anything else.
Something unknown but highly illogical drives our need for the truth.
Something we know, but we cannot explain.
The highest level of knowledge, our deepest foundations...
In a beautiful face...
