具體描述
Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diversified readership: taking in painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts, novels and poems, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. It traces the philosophy of aesthetics through history and examines some of the many treatises that have sought to define it. Beauty is Umberto Eco at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how the fashion of the 1960s owes much to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant new light on the unfamiliar. Illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards, Beauty is an indispensable book.

讀後感
阐述美的观念从古希腊到现代。拿一个世纪拉开与距离来看,有一个区别于上世代的不连贯的特征,那就是这个时代的“美”。 如作者导论所言“美的观念，千汇万状，在这些变化之上，可能有某种施诸百世百世万族皆准的规则，本书并不期望不计代价地搜寻这些规则，我们不做此意...

評分我是看了joyo的介绍买的，书很精致，但学究味很浓。要注意力集中才能好好地慢慢地看下去。精装书看着挺美，我倒更想要软皮装的多册薄书，这样可以躺床上慢慢欣赏。现在只能正经危坐地在书桌上看它了。也好，就当是美术赏析课的延伸吧。

評分摘录并体会既是学习，也是刺激。 关于小——我们拜服我们敬佩之物，而喜爱向我们拜服之物。前者为崇高，后者寓于小。“又大又美”极少这样说，“又大又丑”十分常用。简言之，崇高与美丽基础差异极大，两者很难并见同一物体，两者若要并存，一定要减少其中之一对我们激情的影...
