We will not assess beauty depending on this variety of beauty aspects. And we do not actually need it because people of different cultures, social positions, ages may perceive these aspects quite differently… We will settle on the geometric aspects of beauty – they can be assessed objectively and they are somewhat “stable” as compared to opinions and views.
