Dear RG member! Maybe not exactly a scientific question. But. Couldn't resist to ask after seeing this photo from 1967 of the USSR - the Moscow festival. (Seit 1967 in Moskau das Internationale Modefestival stattfand, gibt es in den Minirock auch in der UdSSR)

Beauty will save the world?
Not sure beauty in the look but perhaps beauty in the heart can save the world.
The beauty that will save the world is the love of God. Beauty is an experience of God’s gift of His presence. It’s a moment of love. And so we need it — because we need Him. Beauty might be “useless” by the world’s terms, but when we experience Beauty in the finite things of the world, it draws us into the presence of God and leaves us wanting more. Beauty is the whisper of God’s presence, calling us into deeper relationship with Him.
I am agree with Ahmed, an I want to add that beauty of conduct and good manners lead to live and let live...
Dear Mikhail,
Thanks for the photo. They are (were) really beautiful girls. Seeing beautiful girls is an aesthetic experience as well. However, beautifulness of women is only a tiny part of the world of visual beauty. Please do not forget beautifulness in literature and music. Not to speak on the beautifulness of the idea.
Ok. Beauty in the heart and understanding this can save us.
P.s. beauty - and in literature and in music and in nature...
Fully loving the beauty of people, arts, and scenery can be made under the peace. So, if all people over the world would love beauty, then it would save the world.
Beauty of everything(heart, intention, appearance, surrounding environment, .........) surly will save the world. In Muslim heritage we have a saying of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him " Allah(God) is beautiful and love beauty "..
Liqaa
Beauty in the heart is fully necessary for the betterment of our WORLD.
Dear All,
I would like to stress that it is not sufficient to talk about beauty. Discussions and lip service cannot save anything. One should try to fulfil beauty in our deeds, in expressing it visually, in music, in dance, in Belles-lettres but mainly in realizing beautiful ideas such as mutual help, freedom, sustainable lifestyle and fairness. Problem is that people achieve drafting ideas never realized. Our first task must be to accomplish freedom.
Scientists realize their ideas in papers, patents, theories and others. But. Sometimes after a brainstorm (for example) we need to switch to something beautiful, elegant, pleasant like these girls in the photo.
Dear Mikhail all,
The kind of image you are displaying to represent beauty is first very relative and second it is sensual detached from our intellect, and these are exactly one the sources of our problems than solutions. When we say beauty from the perspective of science is truth and only truth and being thoughtfulness to reach to truth that will make the world reasonable and livable.
All that is written here is true, because it is sincere and said with beauty in the heart. Is not it? If so, then someone else this question and the answers to it can be useful.
I think it depends o. The definition of beauty?
Also some times beauty can destroy world.
Regards
Enjoying natural and art heart warming phenomena is normal and pleasant. Though it is very remote as far as saving world is concerned. Humans' civilization faces vulnerabilities caused by the nature, and created by humans themselves as the byproduct of their industrial, technological, scientific, and military explorations and exploitations.
The threats analyses show formidable challenges coming from both types of vulnerabilities. The only option for our civilization to reduce threats is to unite scientific understanding, political will, and financial and technological resources in one fist to face those threats. That's what's going to safe the world.
Unfortunately, so far we are moving too slow, lacking to understand how dangerous we are sometimes for ourselves by being unable to reach a consensus of opinions, and probably overestimating the mercy of God in assessing the time given to us for waking up and doing something to save ourselves.
I agree. Russian aphorism is " Beauty is terrible force".
The nature is beautiful ,sunrise , & sun set all the time remain attractive for inspiration ,atmosphere of the full moon inspires poet to beautify the moon & also the handsomeness & beauty of women has enhanced the creative art of the beautiful nature & cloudy atmosphere .
Beauty only will not the save the world it is a human being every where in the world who action are either to beautify the world or otherwise of the same . We know that every human beings have both positive & negative traits & if human beings are control by the negative traits it not possible to confirm that Beauty will the save the world.
This is my personal opinion
Dear all
Thank you for your participation and answers. In my town the night has come and I need to sleep with a sense of beauty in the heart...
Sir,
By nature men desire the beautiful, The appetite for beauty comes inscribed into every soul and it is a very large appetite. Plato himself describes the phenomenon in a famous section of his Symposium. If man believe in gentleness, tenderness and kindness these are amazingly trans formative powers then beauty will transform the world.
An old sums it so well. "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder."
Let's try to collect the answers.

Beauty can served for the contrepartie (repos) , and it is the part of human equilibre
Beauty is in the Eys , beautiful is the most important thing in life , and can become people's reasons for actions , inspires to do thinking and creating things
Maybe the beauty of mind will save the world, but not any kind of beauty!
Problem for Stoic philosophy, e.g. Epictetus. If a horse in its elation proclaimed I am beautiful could we bear that? The horse in that sense Bucephalus.
when beauty sheds its light in the right direction, it should save the world, not overthrow it!
when I claim that an appearance looks beautiful, I can't help implying that everyone ought agree with me. Kant would say that I am conscious of such claims only when I am aware of feeling pleasure, that does not rely upon any mere self interest. For Kant the pure aesthetic judgment of taste is a subjective universal and only if I am not conscious that I like without merely private gratification.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
You don't have to save the world, but you can be in the world-that's where the beauty comes from.

Dear Colleagues,

Dear All,
What about the physical beauty of the four Graces in the photo? Hopefully, they were able to preserve their spiritual beauty.
Will Beauty Save the World?
By Michael D. O’Brien
At the beginning of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Idiot, the central character Prince Myshkin is shown a portrait of a young woman named Nastassya Filippovna by a Madame Yepanchin, his hostess. She holds Nastassya in contempt because her moral reputation is tarnished.
“So, you appreciate that kind of beauty?” she asks the prince.
“Yes. That kind—” the prince replies with an effort.
“Why?” she asks.
“In that face—there is much suffering,” he says, as though involuntarily, as though he is talking to himself.
“Beauty like that is strength,” one of the other women in the room angrily declares. “One could turn the world upside down with beauty like that.”

Beauty means purity of the heart of all living beings.Not only the beauty is what that it physically appears to be good, also the pure feelings that are equal to all living creatures. This type of beauty makes a type of bond within nature . By this beauty nature ( world) can be saved.
Dear all!
Thank you for your opinions and beauty answers! :)
The beauty of spirit, morality, and the beauty of humanity can save the world
But the beauty alone !!!, I do not think will save the world
Beauty is the feature in creation that puts a smile on the faces of people and soothes their pain in times of great trouble. The physical beauty that a man admires of his wife calms him down psychologically when he is worn out by challenges he confronted in the day. The same thing happens to a woman when she sees the husband. In this sense, physical beauty can save personalities. This cheerful heart of husbands and wives extends to masses of people when the man or woman happens to be a leader. Thus, in this sense physical beauty can save the world.
However, the inner beauty which is the beautiful display of good qualities has the great potential of severing strong angered persons (from committing grievous sins that would have destroyed the 'world' (A larger section of the populace). A classic example is what is in the Holy Bible concerning the beautiful display of wisdom (inner beauty) by Abigail to King David whose anger was burning to devour a whole 'world' (Community) because of the foolishness of a man called Nabal.
Thus, the intelligent display of good qualities (inner beauty) of individuals can actually save the world.
Thanks for this great philosophical thought.

I do not know who it is in the photo. The photo is taken from the group Nature life in Facebook!

Shaul Tchernichovsky opined that only poetry can redeem the world. The truth is beautiful, but beauty is not truth. No, beauty can not save the world. However, erotics and beauty can keep us healthy and hopeful.
Ok.The truth = beauty and truth = power (see question https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_mans_power_in_truth). Hence the beauty = power? :)
The power structure is made up by the recipients of the ground rent, state security owners and key state officials; you may also add a certain type of pensioneer, the privatier (i.e. power is derived from economic rent). Power can buy beauty, the intellectual beauty (talent) of scientists included. The inter-section between power and beauty is payment, to provide for a living; the inter-section between power and truth is knowledge, to make power more powerful.
Maybe not physical beauty, but the beauty of the soul, the spiritual and above all the intellectual could be a set of positive attitudes to change the world.
Dear friends! As long as each of us has an understanding of beauty, we feel our world at the "fingertips" ... :). Thanks!
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty is relative; what you see as beautiful may not necessarily be beautiful to me. However, if we all share the same perception about beauty then the world will surely be saved.
, Wondering whether a difference between beauty in space or beauty in time? Some people I think want to re-capture what was once beautiful--their youth perhaps? I think of beauty in myth as in a 'fountain of youth,' or of Grimm's 'water of life'
For myself, I thnk we are all "perfectable beings" and that we can attain beauty.
Dear Colleagues, Good Day,
"If you foolishly ignore beauty, then you will soon find yourself without it."
---- Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959)
The numbers of creatures is low in the scale of universe (probably :) ). So the beauty is in each of us, in every living beings, in our understanding of beauty.
Dear Colleagues, Good Day,
“You don't have to save the world, but you can be in the world-that's where the beauty comes from”
-- Daphne Zuniga
Beauty is an ideal, the form behind what gives our minds and senses pleasure. God (s) can be a personification of that ideal, beauty queens, a scuptural form, the morning sky-
Is it possible love without beauty: beauty of the soul, the beauty of man, the beauty of science (mathematics, theorems, etc.) :)?
I remember a fateful episode during the 2nd world war when Jews had just been transported to a concentration camp. A few soldiers took a liking to one very attractive Jewish girl. They watched as she was taken away and stripped. As she passed them again, she pointed to herself, fully aware of her fate:
'Only 23.' She said.
Beauty does not help perhaps in the face of evil. Its a commodity.
In spite of everything, the most popular answer is the answer of Han Ping Fung about"...beauty in heart" :)
I think that physical beauty would not change the world (over time it transforms).
Instead the intellectual beauty and the soul if it could change the world.
Regards!
Allah / Dios / God Loves Beauty. The beauty of the Body, the beauty of the Mind and the beauty of the Soul. When all united produce deeds which are transcendental, curing and eternally beneficial. Outcomes could be good deeds, could be beneficial research, curing words, beautiful architecture, and happiness to the well being of humans.
Beauty is part of the world, no need for further classification. The world is a nature reserve and balance. It will remain with its diversity and its contradictions through the ages, inspiring poets and artists, and the source of more scientific research.
In case if you think only white is beauty, them meet Ms Anok Yai, she is ranked as most beautiful woman on the earth and highest paid model.
There are cultures that would respond to the beauty in your photo by covering it up and banning its public manifestations. Beauty itself needs to be saved.
I agree with your answer: "Beauty itself need to be saved"
Dear all!
Our question and discussion get interesting development! Nice:-)
Thank you friends for your positive comments on my posting of Ms Anok, beautiful lady of the earth.
