“Beauty is truth, truth beauty, – that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know…”
John Keats – May 1819
Just Beauty Manifesto
Did Keats get it right? What about Justice? And the Courage you might need to tell Truth to Power?
Love is all you need, wrote John Lennon in 1967. And love must surely be linked to our sense of beauty and truth. By Beauty we mean not a perfect thing, but the relation between subject and object, the small explosion of admiration.
In this new blog platform Just Beauty we will be searching for the crossover line – where the truth of brave, excellent art meets the truth of practical projects to improve our society and to protect nature.
Just Art
We seek emotional truth, shaped with freshness and imagination. Art that moves, challenges, and reveals.
Just Politics
We seek truth, honesty, and practical ideas — from left or right, beyond party lines, rejecting disinformation.
Just Aware
We seek moral insight grounded in human self-awareness, not ego, profit, or dogma — rooted in empathy and kindness.
Principles
We will not be right in all our judgements! But we will do our best – our reviews and recommendations will be signed and transparent.
And like Keats, we use classical portals to remind us of the level of civilisation that some indigenous, polytheist societies have achieved.
