In retrospect, modern aesthetics is seen to have emerged at the end of the 17th and in the 18th centuries, with the term ‘aesthetic’ being coined by Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (1714–62) in 1735 from the Greek aisthētikos [αἰσθητικός].
Many of the early thinkers considered mathematical beauty to be an archetypical form of beauty and integrated it into their theories.
For example, Jean-Pierre de Crousaz (1663–1750) and Francis Hutcheson (1694–1746) both analysed beauty in terms of ‘unity (or uniformity) amidst variety’. Hutcheson thought that this explained why regular polyhedra were more beautiful than irregular ones, and that Archimedes' celebrated theorem
‘The ratios of volumes of a cylinder, its inscribed sphere, and a cone of equal base and height are 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 1’
was more beautiful than the less precise
‘A cylinder has greater volume than an inscribed sphere, which in turn has greater volume than a cone of equal base and height’
because they had equal variety (since they applied to the same objects), but the first theorem had greater unity.

Wien – Baumgarten
84km, 400hmDie Midlife Crisis ist wegen Lieferproblemen (Hinterradnabe) um eine Woche verschoben, also brechen wir noch einmal mit den Reiserädern auf in den Nordwind. Wir fahren natürlich nach Süden, denn in die andere Richtung würde man ja sofort erfrieren. Tut man sowieso, sobald man mal die Richtung ändern muss, und auch die Mittagspause vor dem Spar in Ebreichsdorf war sehr gechillt. Ungewohnt […]

#Kunz kann die Kaderplanung für Liga2 kommende Saison beginnen. Es wird diesem Verein nicht gelingen, zu reflektieren, dass der Bild-Zeitungs-Wunschtrainer #baumgarten eher durch großes Mundwerk, Show-Einlagen an der Seitenlinie und die Mütze auffällt, als durch Leistung. Was haben die Protagonisten der letzten 8 Jahre nur aus diesem #HSV gemacht….. zum heulen
