While writing my blogs this week, I was thinking about Nehamas' definition of beauty, how it can be applied to non-artifacts, and pregnancy. It is interesting to think of pregnancy in these terms. I've heard that each pregnancy is different from the other, and the mothers are surprised at what they learn from each one. I think therefore, beauty being the promise of happiness and everything, it could be applied to pregnancy. If no two are the same and there is a seemingly endless things to learn about it, then it is not a stretch to call it beautiful. Some might thing childbirth is disgusting, but "I might find beautiful what other find disgusting." (Nehamas). It does not carsickness have to be the same kind of beauty that we find attractive.
What are other human acts that could be beautiful?
