Anthropology itself has an aesthetic basis. This grand and comprehensive principle stated by Eli Siegel explains how: “All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.” This semester we explore this crucially important idea through time, from prehistory to the present moment.
