RE: Knowledge is Power (5) - What is Ethics?
I agree. The perception of beauty is subjective, but the criteria of judging beauty must be objective. I’m thinking about a piece of art. There must be some rules in place, some criteria, to determine the degree of beauty. Also there must be a level of intelligence involved to be able to judge beauty. Just my two cents 😊
I generally agree with you, Ma'am. Although, I want to highlight my point regarding " the criteria of judging beauty must be objective" which I believe it is still subjective, and that's what I meant when I said "the essential characteristics of beauty predicates on the common ground." in other words, the criteria of judging beauty in itself is subjective but might be in a collective way, like in modeling industry, for instance, they follow specific criteria yet it does not necessarily represent everyone. Therefore, I personally believe that beauty is absolutely subjective and cannot be contained and/or categorized by a certain group.
Please don't mind my argument, I truly appreciate a valuable conversation that I can learn something from it :)
Hey, I like a good argument, that’s an interesting discussion and can go on and on. That’s why philosophy is so interesting to me. I generally agree with you, I was thinking about rules (criteria) to be followed in judging beauty. Your example with modeling is good. 😊
See, at last, we're on the same page, generally :) i love philosophy! I believe I've read one other post of your knowledge series and noticed other posts on philosophy, which ill be reading sometimes soon when i clear my head out from some bugs :)
