Contrary to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's assertion that "the most beautiful thing in the stars, houses, and deserts is what the eyes cannot see," the authors of this monograph dispassionately test the harmony of beauty in the East through the algebra
of scientific analysis, continuing the work of their first book, "The Beautiful and the Utilitarian: From the Pre-Pottery Neolithic to Islamic Art." The monograph consists of studies devoted to the utility of beauty, expressed through all forms of plastic art in Western Asia, Egypt, the Chinese world, and Central Asia. Particular attention is given to philosophical, cultural, and etymological studies of terms related to beauty and the beautiful.

Keywords: искусство Востока, Eastern art
