“在《On Beauty and Being Just》中，Elaine Scarry 不仅为美辩护、反驳针对美的政治责难，还论证了美确实促使我们更加关切正义。Scarry 从荷马、柏拉图、Marcel Proust、Simone Weil 和 Iris Murdoch 等众多作家与思想家以及她自己的亲身经历中汲取灵感，提出了一份优雅而充满激情的宣言，倡导在我们的智识工作以及家庭、博物馆和课堂中复兴美。”——书封。“Scarry 认为，我们对美的反应是具有深远意义的知觉事件，

…John Rawls 的《正义论》（Justice）。人人都在聊，我以前没读过。我确实需要重读一遍。Philippa Foot 的《Natural Goodness》，论证了一种大体上属于亚里士多德主义的伦理学理解。Elaine Scarry 的《On Beauty and Being Just》，我觉得她关于美的描写，比她试图把美和正义感的发展联系起来的论述更有说服力。
…Justice by John Rawls. Everyone talked about it, I hadn't read it. I do need to read it again. Natural Goodness by Philippa Foot. An argument for a more or less Aristotelian understanding of ethics. On Beauty and Being Just by Elaine Scarry. I find her writing on beauty more convincing than her attempt to tie it back to a development of a sense of justice.
