Is it body or spirit that makes us appreciate beauty and create art? Ekbert Faas argues that, with occasional exceptions, the mainstream of western thinking about beauty from Plato onwards has greatly overemphasised the spirit. Professor Faas attacks this consensus, and offers instead a radical new pro-sensualist aesthetics.
