Originally posted by BeauIXI View PostI feel this makes more sense than what we were approaching before, but I still fail to see how beauty is an objective value, as opposed to a sociocultural one? And I don't mean what specifically is beautiful, rather the concept of beauty itself being a distinctly human thing. I don't think that any certain thing has the property of beauty. I think that's more of an individual synthesis based on the perceived object, no? Closer to linguistics than to ontology... It's like saying that "The Good" exists in reality in my opinion.
But indeed, good does exist in reality, our conception of these things, is a recognition of things that exist, whether we perceive them or not.
A lack of perception, or articulation of a concept does not mean the nonexistence of the thing, it means a failure of the human mind to grasp the concept or to verbalize and communicate in a way that others can understand.
take for example a child, even before the child knows how to communicate verbally, if you treat the child with love and care it knows, of you hurt the child it knows.............therein is an example of an instinctual understanding of "goodness" before the mind of the child is able to grasp or verbally communicate anything.
The sociocultural aspect of beauty is how we are educated to perceive different things as being beautiful at different times, but that doesn't dismiss beauty itself.........the concept is objectively constant and cannot be altered, Our perception might be different over time.
Beauty exist independent of our appreciation of it, and isn't or shouldn't be limited to things visual.
There is such a thing as a "beautiful act"..............It is beautiful actions, why an ugly man like me can have a pretty wife without being rich , cause my treatment of her is immensely attractive and desirable, which are the traits of beauty................
It is rather interesting to me though, that those in the camp of no objective reality, easily adjusts this perspective when it is necessary or convenient.
I would love to see the "subjectivists" walk out in the street when a truck is coming and say, well, "death is really subjective, so I'm not really gonna die if I'm hit by this truck at 85m/ hr"...............“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
