Question

How does the absense of sense of beauty tell upon our life?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Sense of Beauty is a book on aesthetics by the philosopher George Santayana.[1] The book was published in 1896 by Charles Scribner's Sons, and is based on the lectures Santayana gave on aesthetics while teaching at Harvard University.[2] Santayana published the book out of necessity, for tenure, rather than inspiration. In an anecdote retold by art critic Arthur Danto of a meeting with Santayana in 1950, Santayana was reported to have said that "they let me know through the ladies that I had better publish a book... on art, of course. So I wrote this wretched potboiler."[3]

The book is divided into four parts: "The Nature of Beauty", "The Materials of Beauty", "Form", and "Expression".[2] Beauty, as defined by Santayana, is an "objectified pleasure."[1] It does not originate from divine inspiration, as was commonly described by philosophers, but from a naturalistic psychology.[4] Santayana objects to the role of God in aesthetics in the metaphysical sense, but accepts the use of God as metaphor.[1] His argument that beauty is a human experience, based on the senses, is influential in the field of aesthetics.[4] However, Santayana would reject this approach, which he called "skirt[ing] psychologism," later on in life.[1]

According to Santayana, beauty is linked to pleasure, and is fundamental to human purpose and experience.[4] Beauty does not originate from pleasurable experiences, by itself,[5] or from the objects that bring about pleasure.[6] It is when the experience and emotion of pleasure intertwines with the qualities of the object that beauty arises.[6] Beauty is a "manifestation of perfection",[7] and as Santayana writes, "the sense of beauty has a more important place in life than aesthetic theory has ever taken in philosophy."[1]
