Is beauty subjective or objective?
Beauty, for me, is objective. Beauty is objective because I believe that beauty is beauty regardless of anyone perceiving it. In Plato’s idea or theory of forms, beauty is an unchanging, eternal and nonmaterial form. This means that beauty does not depend on how we perceive things through the use of our senses. Some may say that a thing is very beautiful and some may say that it isn’t at all. In this sense, our idea of the beautiful depends on how one appreciates something and how one rejects or ignores the essence of that thing. Beauty is present in everything. Our concept of something being beautiful depends mainly on how we react on something we see, think, feel, hear, smell or know. In this sense, we are being subjective. We are being subjective on how we perceive things alone. But beauty is always and will always be objective because beauty independently exists of these perceptions that we have. These perceptions will always be dependent on us, on our senses, but beauty will always remain and exist constantly and independently as an idea or a form. Beautiful is a word we just use to describe something when we appreciate them at its best and ugly is just a word we use to describe something we think is not pleasing to us. We have different views about things, different preferences, different thoughts, different standards, different values and different qualities that greatly affect our decisions and criticisms about things and in our perceptions or conceptions. Though there are several differences that exist in us, human beings, still we share a universal view of something beautiful. We agree, in this case, on what or which is beautiful.
Again, though I believe that our perceptions will always be subjective or relative to individual’s opinion or ideas, I strongly believe that Beauty will always be absolute or objective since it is something that exists independently on how we see or appreciate things. Beauty is beauty
