Specifically, I focus on the question of what is the experience of artists and educators with the perception of beauty? At the same time, I study Hegel's Aesthetics, in which Hegel describes art and beauty as a tool through which we discover / uncover ourselves and approach the absolute spirit. This uncovering or unhiddeness is also a term for truth (alétheia), which is a key element of Jan Patočka's and Anna Hogen's philosophy. In his philosophical work, Patočka and subsequently Hogen strive to return to her original source through self-knowledge (gnothi seauton), and by this idea all work is inspired as a search for meaning.

Geometry of Life-Supporting Forms in an Architectural Design
Volnohradský, Radan
Process of visual perception described in the first article is elaborately explored by neuroesthetic. It is a link to understand incoming images and reactions in brain. In this context it points out significance and beauty of fractal structures. Fractals and their use in urban design are content of next chapter. Than the focus is on explaining harmonic proportions (primarily Golden mean) and geometric forms which are mostly found in fractals. It is mentioned basic Pythagorean geometry with its metaphysical aspects. Same aspects are hidden in mysterious picture Flower of life and its geometrical transformation to Platonic solids - the matrix of universe. At the end the relation between geometry and architectural design is revealed and substantiated.
