Beauty is a characteristic of a
person, place, object or idea that provides a perceptual experience
of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction . Beauty is studied as part of
aesthetics, sociology, social psychology and culture. As a cultural
creation, beauty has been extremely commercialized. An "ideal
beauty" is a person who is admired, or possesses features widely
attributed to beauty in a particular culture.
A number of historical individuals have become icons of beauty,
including Cleopatra VII, Helen of Troy, and Marilyn Monroe.
The subjective experience of "beauty" often involves the
interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with
nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional
well-being. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is a common
phrase that expresses this concept. In its most profound
sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive
reflection about the meaning of one's own existence. An
"object of beauty" is anything that reveals or resonates with
personal meaning.
The classical Greek adjective beautiful was καλλός. The Koine Greek
word for beautiful was an adjective etymologically coming from
the word meaning hour. In Koine Greek, beauty was thus associated
with "being of one's hour". A ripe fruit (of its time) was
considered beautiful, whereas a young woman trying to appear
older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be
considered beautiful. in Attic Greek had many meanings, including
youthful and ripe old age.
History of beauty
The earliest Western theory of beauty can be found in the works of
early Greek philosophers from the pre-Socratic period, such as
Pythagoras. The Pythagorean school saw a strong connection between
mathematics and beauty. In particular, they noted that objects
proportioned according to the golden ratio seemed more attractive.
Ancient Greek architecture is based on this view of symmetry and
proportion. Modern research also suggests that people whose facial
features are symmetric and proportioned according to the golden
ratio are considered more attractive than those whose faces are not.
Symmetry is also important because it suggests the absence of
genetic or acquired defects. Although style and fashion vary widely,
cross-cultural research has found a variety of commonalities in
people's perception of beauty. Large eyes and a clear complexion,
for example, are considered beautiful in both men and women in
all cultures. Neonatal features are inherently attractive and
youthfulness in general is associated with beauty.
Human beauty
The characterization of a person as “beautiful”, whether on an
individual basis or by community consensus, is often based on some
combination of inner beauty, which includes psychological factors
such as personality, intelligence, grace, charm and elegance, and
outer beauty, which includes physical factors, such as health,
youthfulness, symmetry, averageness, and complexion.
Inner beauty
Inner beauty is a concept used to describe the positive aspects of
something that is not physically observable.
While most species use physical traits and pheromones to attract
mates, some humans claim to rely on the inner beauty of their
choices. Qualities including kindness, sensitivity, tenderness or
compassion, creativity and intelligence have been said to be
desirable since antiquity.
However new research comparing what humans claim to find attractive
to their actual mating habits underlines the superficiality of
"inner beauty," underlining the fact that the human animal relies on
physical traits and pheromones just like every other animal to find
a mate. That said, whether "inner beauty" does or does not
measurably affect humans' mating habits, some traits classified as
"inner beauty" do give an evolutionary survival advantage to
either the individual or mating couple or group or all three.
