I like this chapter, “The shiver of beauty”, because it talk about something that i thou that is very interesting, what it beautiful? Well I think that beauty depends on the view of each person and how the way you appreciate things, beauty I something that brings you pleasure.
Plato, this great philosopher didn’t like the artist because they have the power to seduce with their art and they don’t question things and facts as the philosophers do “the real teachers”, they just take thing as the see beautiful without questioning, in my very own point of view I don’t like the way Plato took this because I think that seeing something beautiful depends on how you feel about it, if it transmits pleasure or pain to you, beauty depends on every person and I don’t think that you have to question where it came from, who was it made, it is beautiful just because it seem beautiful to you, I don’t think that we need a “real teacher” to teach us how to view things beautiful.
That’s my point of view but everyone can think differently, but I agree with Schiller, about the aesthetic education letting people decide what they see as beautiful gives them freedom, the freedom they need for becoming the person they wish, that’s the point I think that beauty should be freely appreciated for each person, because no one thinks the same and perceive the same.

I agree with you Ileana in the way that it is our choice of how do we perceive beauty. We decide what is beautiful for us and what’s not, therefore depending on the way and perspective we see some things is the way we like or dislike and tell if its beautiful or not. Also great statement about Schiller.
ReplyDeletewow Ileana I liked a lot "I don’t think that we need a “real teacher” to teach us how to view things beautiful" I think this thought of yours is maybe one of the few i strongly found interesting for this theme, I am amazed by your post, thanks for writing like that and let me read your thoughts about beauty.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Illeana, so every single person should have the freedom to decide if something is really beautiful or not, but do you think that if something is beautiful for you, you are saying that it is subjective depending on your thoughts? I think that if you like something, is very different from what is beautiful.
