'Beauty may be a troublingly misleading sign of moral worth. Discoveries about when people tend to use aesthetic appeal as a cue to moral standing may help us to reevaluate our moral intuitions.'
, found evidence that people consider good looks to elevate moral standing, even beyond the realm of the animal kingdom. Across six experiments, the researchers uncovered consistent evidence that people have a greater desire to protect and preserve beautiful animals, beautiful people, beautiful landscapes, and even beautiful buildings as compared to their uglier counterparts.
Other researchers have independently found similar results. For example, 8- to 12-year-old children evaluate harms more severelyThis convergent evidence that even children show a tendency to morally prioritize beautiful over drab creatures underscores that the"beauty is good" phenomenon is noteworthy and perhaps widespread.These recent findings give us reason to step back and more carefully examine whether our intuitions about moral value are ethically defensible.
In general, beauty may be a troublingly misleading sign of moral worth. Scientific discoveries about when people tend to use aesthetic appeal as a cue to moral standing may help us to reevaluate our moral intuitions and move toward more principled assessments of moral standing.
