Today we began a discussion of the nature of the beautiful and just as we earlier did with the nature of truth started asking what gave us each an intuitive sense of happiness. As a discussion starter we looked at some Youtube videos of places in Disney World. First stop: "Its a Small World". The discussion went pretty well with this as it turned out that many members of the class had been to Disney World or Disney Land and had their favorite memories of specific rides. This were good examples of that intuitive feeling of happiness. But what explains that happiness? Is it a direct biological connection or does a complex system of cultural connections have something to do with it?
