On Non-literal Approachesshall be argued that the reasons for endorsing a non literal interpretation of mathematical beauty are rather weak. The discussion also examines the conceptions of mathematical beauty by Shaftesbury, Hutchenson and Gian-Carlo Rota.

Beautiful, Literallycapable of affording results as interesting as a model of scientific progress. We discuss in detail McAllister’s most attractive insight: the idea of the aesthetic induction, which intends to account for historical changes in aesthetic preferences.

Incisor

Ugly, Literallyount of beauty based merely on the passive contemplation of properties of objects is insufficient to account for mathematical items that involve the active use of our attention. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of mental contents and mental activities in mathematical beauty; the crucial notion of intentional object is thus introduced.
