Christiane Senra and the Lenses of Aesthetics

Christiane Senra is an architect, philosophy teacher and artist who uses paintings to sew views of the world

In this episode we talk about beauty, time and scarcity.

I really enjoyed talking to Chris and I hope you will enjoy the conversation too.

Key take aways

1. The world is a process. We cannot access everything. It is always a point of view
2. The illusion of scarcity is brought by utilitarism. We are more than probabilities. If we use just technicism, then we are just robots.
3. We are loosing sensitivity and loosing collective identity. We are suffering because we are loosing connection with aesthetics. Love and contemplation are the ultimate goal
4. Aesthetics is not just about beauty. It's about time. Kant said that we borrow time to understand the world. Time is correlated to consciousness.
5. Schopenhauer use to say that we are always in conflict. And there is no science, no religion, no politics, that can help us. The only place in which our wills do not conflict its art. That is the place where everything is possible. And where you will find time.
6. There is no conflict in a concert room full of people listening to Mozart. Time stops and we reach sublime!
7. Finitude is an illusion. Everything simply evolves to something else. When you understand that we are all part of eternity, like Hegel told us, we are free from the prison of time.
