Philosophers: Is absolute beauty completely independent of the senses?

Thanks to all your thoughts on this query. Have a great day to all!Philosophers: Is absolute beauty completely independent of the senses?
Yes.





Beauty is indeed limited by perception through one or more of the senses.... that is why it is relative.... the concept of an absolute beauty therefore must be independent of senses... in other words, 'absolute' beauty must be non-physical, because any physical beauty can not but be relative to the uniqueness of sensual experience.Philosophers: Is absolute beauty completely independent of the senses?
no

Must go hang out my beautiful laundry - lol
I would say beauty can only exist with the senses, as it is something we learn through life.





This is why different people see different things as beautiful
Beauty can be none, any and all senses, that is the beauty of beauty.
Yes it's called death. As even in life beaty is in the eye of the beholder. And that eye is but one of our senses.
Beauty is objective, as it is a virtue. See Aristotles 'nicomachian ethics' %26amp; virtue ethics for details.
I would say no - surely it's impossible to describe something beautiful without referring to at least one of the senses? I may be wrong. Try it, see if you can.
No. I don't think there is such a thing as 'absolute beauty' that can exist apart from the senses and the physical world in general.





I think that Platonic Dualism is a dead philosophy, an intellectual artifact from the Bronze Age. One of the implications of platonism is that concepts like beauty actually exist in some sort of parallel universe of abstract ideas. However, as a monist, I think that platonic ideals only exist between your ears--the result of a physical brain, and nothing more. So, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder--if there was no beholder with a physical brain, beauty would not exist...
I get where you are coming from.





Like my other note on bees and flowers, generally it is an arbitrary decision as to what is beautiful, but underlying independent beauty can come from things beyond the senses, such as independent mathematical truths.





Such harmonies are much more accessible in music or visual splendor.If we assume sensation comes from the mind it must be sensed to be appreciated.
Hmmmm...... YES.
Pure positive affect is inherent, and the basis for the experience of beauty.
We are absolute beauty when freed absolutely from evil.
If I were talking Absolute beauty, that is, of the Absolute in terms of being at one with the core spiritual center that we are each capable of experiencing, then yes, I have experienced that kind of absolute beauty in meditation type circumstances. The experience of such beauty must come in through the brain via another route other than the five senses. Through the pineal gland or known or unknown inner receptive center. I just know there are other levels of perception available to humans.
Hi Third p


No, i think the beauty is relative which means that maybe you like some thing and found that it 's beautiful but i don't like. it independent on how you receiving and how to thinking about it.


Thanks yahoo
Socrates thought that beauty was knowledge.
