Description
In our experience of fairy tales, the Princess is always beautiful and the Prince is usually handsome. But, alas, most of the people on earth are neither. Why, then, does Beauty play such a large role in the tales we all love and pass to our children? Why not Prince Average and Princess Ho-Hum? Dr. Ginger Osborn, of Belmont University's Department of Philosophy, will explore three possible answers to this question in her presentation for the Symposium.
