    everything. They all have their own definiton of beauty. I find it is good to have your own opinion about things. Then you can hear other opinions and still have your own. Beauty could be defined as an outward apperience.According to William Shakespeare(1588) “Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye”. A lot of people cave into beauty as being a thing they look at. Beauty is something that brings their eyes happiness like Stendhal(1871)said‚ “Beauty is the promise of happiness”. They lust after someone

    Beauty is defined in the Oxford dictionary as; “A combination of qualities‚ such as shape‚ colour‚ or form‚ that pleases the aesthetic senses‚ especially the sight” . An ideal is; “a person or thing regarded as perfect”‚ or “a standard or principle to be aimed at”. It can represent “an abstract or hypothetical optimum”‚ “existing only in the imagination; desirable or perfect but not likely to become a reality” . The concept of “ideal beauty” we can then surmise‚ is an abstract‚ unattainable perfection

    Physical beauty to inner beauty. Beauty only exists in perception‚ but not too many people are aware of that and judge a lot of people through the way they look and personality. I believe physical beauty can only get you so far in life‚ while others are so caught up in their looks and the way society views them. Inner beauty in my perception is sublime and I wish more people would look more into their peers personalities then what they wear or if they’re in today’s trends. Everything is an art

    Athenian Beauty

    · For the Greeks‚ beauty was a virtue: A kind of excellence. Persons then were assumed to be what we now have to call—lamely‚ enviously—whole persons. If it did occur to the Greeks to distinguish between a person’s “inside” and “outside‚” they still expected that inner beauty would be matched by beauty of the other kind. The well-born young Athenians who gathered around Socrates found it quite paradoxical that their hero was so intelligent‚ so brave‚ so honorable‚ so seductive—and so ugly. One of

    The Meaning of Beauty Man vs. Woman From the beginning we are taught that God created man‚ and from man he created woman. It’s funny how different a man’s thoughts can be compared to a woman’s‚ considering the woman was created from the man. Their views on beauty‚ amongst other things‚ prove to be a perfect example of this. Centuries ago the Greeks saw “[B]eauty as a virtue: A kind of excellence” (Sontag 117). While this is still a shared view between men and women today‚ they share different

    but the desire or pursuit of wisdom and beauty. Love is expressed via propagation and reproduction‚ as in the exchange and development of ideas. Socrates in the Symposium best expresses this belief. Socrates ’ view of Love and Beauty was that one is the pursuit of the other‚ and that other is the greatest of all knowledge. Love is a driving force‚ a compulsion forward to a goal. Much as a moth is drawn to light‚ for its heat‚ people are lured to Beauty by Love. Love is an emotion‚ and like all
