An aesthetic of health

Abstract

If philosophy creates concepts intended to cure both cultural and individual diseases, an aesthetic philosophy, which comes from the force of human imagination, represents an interesting alternative in order to contribute to health. Altogether with bioethics, a bio-aesthetic must be constructed. Not as two autonomous spheres but as one: a bio-ethics-aesthetics. Our proposal is aesthetics towards health and life with dignity.
