Season one: On Beauty - What philosophers and writers have said about beauty over the centuries.

Philosopher Dalia Nassar takes you on a journey through experiences of beauty. She asks the question that so many philosophers, poets and artists have asked: Can beauty actually change our lives? To think through this question with Dalia is  concert pianist and writer, Simon Tedeschi.
