Can a beautiful place inspire us towards justice? In Elaine Scarry’s book, On Beauty and Being Just, Scarry touches on the link between the reaction one has to beauty and the behavior that manifests from it. In this episode of NOTRadiolab, we hear from folks about the place they find most joy, what it does to them, and the power beauty has in shifting perspective. Later in this segment, we *WISH* to hear from Elaine Scarry herself on her own theories and experiences with beauty justice and the values of beauty in the political sphere.
