Absolute beauty and relative beauty

Science has come up with findings both for absolute beauty and
relative beauty.

A face with certain proportions has been shown to transcend cultural
relativism and be seen as beautiful by people all around the world.

At the same time, in a study that showed 500 faces to 20,000 people,
each face got picked as the most beautiful at least once.

This means that there is such a thing as absolute beauty: Beauty that
cuts across tastes and cultures and appeals to all human beings. For
this absolute beauty there is a mathematical formula. This shows that
Romantic, Renaissance and Classical case for truth being found in
beauty is a valid one. We see absolute beauty which is a function of
mathematics, and which all "beholders" recognize as such. The
existence of absolute beauty therefore validates the case that in
beauty there is truth, as much as it demonstrates that not all forms
of beauty are culturally determined.

The matter however does not end there. Besides absolute beauty, there
is also relative beauty that is dependent on culture and taste. This
means the following: That there is someone for everyone; and that
people who are not seen as beautiful in their home place and time do
not have to be relegated to a lonely or a degrading existence.

Indeed, the findings for absolute beauty and relative beauty validate
the rightful claims of the sides in the debate while invalidating the
wrong ones. The existence of absolute beauty means that the Romantic
search for truth in beauty is valid, and that there is such a thing as
beauty that transcends cultural relativism. The existence of relative
beauty means that there is someone for everyone.

On the obverse: The existence of absolute beauty invalidates the
abuse, by women of politically correct persuasion, against beautiful
women and men who love beautiful women; and the existence of relative
beauty invalidates the abuse by nasty high school cultures and
families of young people who are not seen as beautiful in their
hometown.

To combine: There is absolute beauty that transcends culture and
society, which absolute beauty is expressed in the language of the
universe that is mathematics; and there is relative, taste-dependent,
beauty.

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty" is correct for absolute beauty, and
beauty-related pursuits such as art and poetry can arrive at universal
truth - truth which is now found to be expressible through
mathematics.

And, from the other side: There is someone for everyone.

That's so sweet, do more apolitical nice ones like this.
