Will close attention to the beauty and ugliness of life make us better people? The philosopher David Kaspar believes it does, and that the unaesthetic life, like the unexamined one, is not worth living.

He works primarily in ethics and in social and political philosophy. His book Intuitionism was published in 2012.
