THE PHILOSOPHY OF BEAUTY

Beauty is subjective. I like something different and you like something else. Yet there are trends that humanity considers to be an eternal beauty ideal.

The concept of beauty varies from age to age and culture to culture. Kant defined the concept of beauty as beautiful is what you like without interest. But the thing is more complex than that.

Beauty is not simply an aesthetic category, but a philosophical system to which virtually anything can be strung. Let’s start there, that noticing beauty basically requires openness and attention. To notice beautiful things, the child’s attention must be drawn to him at an early age, otherwise he will not become receptive to it. Of course, there are those who are instinctively receptive to beautiful things, but through education they can be developed in everyone.

Our relationship with the world is fundamentally determined by our relationship to beauty. If someone is able to notice that something is beautiful – it can be anything in the world – they will direct their attention to it. With this, something or someone you find beautiful becomes important to her, and attention becomes love and even care.

What we love and what we care about, we take care of and become responsible for. The development of this responsibility is most important because he who lives irresponsibly into the blind world does not love and respects anything and no one. As a result, he will not take care of anything or anyone.

So in order for someone to become a responsible person and take care of the beings around them — be it human, animal, or plant — they need to be aware of the concept of beauty. Consequently, visual education is essential and unavoidable.

The nightmare of an instant, disposable world could be created in such a way that people are not attached to things / living things, they see everything and everyone as replaceable, disposable, repeatable. This is, of course, a false misconception that should be avoided before humanity irreparably destroys everything around it.
