Thank you so much for this. I'm teaching a high school class on Truth, Beauty, and Goodness and read Scarry's book to prepare for it. I was having a hard time trying to distill it all down into a lesson that I could teach to 16-year-olds with post-quarantine-apathy brains, especially the part on decentering and justice. Thank you so much for making my life a little bit easier!

Thank you so much for this! I'm taking an aesthetics class and we're talking about the role of beauty to the individual and to society, and this video helped me understand better some of the key ideas of Scarry's book. We have to talk about the movie "Wings of Desire" by Wim Wenders and connect some of the ideas in Scarry's book with the main themes movie. Thanks again! Really nice video, very helpful! :D

@@boyjalvarez907 Haha... well... Here is a link to a pdf. I think the page numbers are probably different from the published book, but otherwise, it looks to be pretty much the same. Might help in a pinch. tannerlectures.utah.edu/_resources/documents/a-to-z/s/scarry00.pdf
