Abstract
In this review article, symmetry and symmetry breaking are considered as complementary principles in science and arts. It starts with symmetry and symmetry breaking in early world views of nature and art. Then, symmetries are definied as fundamental structures of mathematics. Mathematical models of symmetry and symmetry breaking are used to explain the emergence of space-time and matter in modern physics. Even molecular structures in chemistry are distinguished by mathematical symmetries. Their elegance and beauty seem to realize aesthetical categories in nature. In biological evolution, the question arises how symmetry breaking (e.g. molcular chirality) can be explained. In modern arts, symmetry and symmetry breaking are „hidden“ structures which can be found in music, painting, and architecture. In a philosophical outlook, symmetry and symmetry breaking are highlighted as regulative guiding ideas of research.
