The first question that comes to mind when discussing beauty in a philosophical context is whether it is objective or subjective. Do things please because they are beautiful, or are things beautiful because they give pleasure? This is a question that has created major disagreement among some of the greatest philosophical minds. It is commonly accepted that beauty is an ultimate value just like goodness, truth and justice. However, it does not exist in the thing itself, but rather is perceived individually. It is not determined logically but aesthetically, and can therefore only be subjective. To say that beauty is entirely subjective would be to deny that certain perceptions of human beings are the same and that we sometimes commonly perceive certain sights or objects such as a sunset or a rose as beautiful, as capable of triggering pleasure or satisfaction. . Many would say that things exist on their own, that they have their own essence, a natural soul that makes them independent of human interpretations or imagination. For Plato, in the “Banquet,” the beauty of an object lies in its form and not in the response of the viewer, and Plotinus agrees with him. He states that the beauty of any object is determined by whether or not it is shaped in relation to the type of thing that object is. Plotinus calls it “training.” This theory is explained in more detail in his work, the "Enneads", where he says: "We believe that all the beauty of this world comes through communion in the Ideal Form. All formlessness of which the species admits models and forms, as long as it remains outside Reason and Idea, is ugly because of this very isolation of Divine Thought. And that is the Absolute Ugliness: an ugly thing is something that has... middle of paper... art in the intentions and interpretations of the viewers, and not in the work of art it -even, unlike others like Plotinus who would completely put beauty in the work of art. I would say that art cannot be ugly and therefore all this debate about whether or not it contains beauty in itself is completely unnecessary, because art naturally carries all three values ultimate transcendental values ​​of beauty, goodness and truth. I actually ask myself, “Does art really have to be beautiful in the first place?” What made me ask this rather puzzling question was the enormous effect the arts have on the emotions rather than the intellect. It is not beauty that helps art reach people, but it is the message and interpretations behind it and given to it. We can perceive a work of art as ugly, but still feel a sensation when interacting with it..
