	Divine Proportion
		The power to appreciate beauty appears to be a human endowment and this suggests that we should seek its origin and its purpose in human nature-in that nature which distinguishes us from the animal creation.
		And we have interpreted the mystery of the nature and purpose of beauty by recalling the familiar fact that the inborn faculty of aesthetic appreciation constitutes the motive for the creation of objects of beauty.
		A small and elegant book with a persuasive argument that beauty is a function, not only of consciousness, but of precise mathematical proportions that is hard-wired into the universe.

	Noah's Class Reviews, 2004
		When I saw the cover of this issue in the library which said "The Beauty of Geometry", I was ecstatic as I had not yet seen an article on mathematical beauty in an NCTM periodical.
		The purpose of this publication by the NCTM is to explore in depth the idea of "Connecting Mathematics" in mathematics education at the high school level.
		Mathematics is expressed through a whole separate language, and just as it is impossible for me to understand a sentence in swahili if I don't know what the words are, it is impossible to understand a mathematical statement if you can't read the language and don't know what is being said.

	Postmodernism
		While postmodernism is distinct from nihilism and relativism (which are often considered to be forms of modernism), postmodernism shares with them a distrust toward totalizing claims about truth, ethics, or beauty.
		Ironically, the purpose of many books which are considered to be postmodern literature is the former, with the exception that the format and structure of scientific writing is mocked, to emphasize the distinction between the content and the embodiment.
		Heidegger and Derrida were influential in re-examining the fundamentals of knowledge, together with the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and his philosophy of action, Soren Kierkegaard's and Karl Barth's important fideist approach to theology, and even the nihilism of Nietzsche's philosophy.

	NZEPC - Robin Hyde - THE VICTORY HYMN 1935 - 1995 - Michele Leggott
		The victory hymn in "Chariot Wheels" is hymnal in the sense that Shelley's "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty", his translations of the Homeric Hymns or Hyde's own "Hymn to Io" all attempt praise-giving outside the conventions of religious orthodoxy while invoking its solemnity and sense of high purpose.
		The victory hymn Hyde mentions to Schroder occurs at the end of the play as a choric poem spoken by two voices (a man and a woman) who recount the nature of Melchek's history and foretell the coming of its ultimate ruler, a Christ-like hero who loves the citadel of humankind.
		Because it is a coda the victory hymn is by nature detachable, a possibility easily lost to circumstance or another set of compromises.
