Ošklivost mezi estetikou a etikou

Jiří Vaněk

E-LOGOS, 2010, vol. 2010, issue 1, 13 pages

Abstract: This essay explains the problems with the definition of ugliness as one of the basic aesthetic categories. Here, it is conceived as a deformation of the "right form" of species appearance of objects, whereas the "right form" is not understood as one model, but rather as a dimension. By providing examples from the history of philosophy and visual arts (Neo-Platonism, Michelangelo, modern spiritual art), the necessity to understand ugliness in the wider referential frames is shown. It is also shown in what manner the comparison participates in the final judgment.

Keywords: ugliness - evil - beauty - "right form" - Michelangelo - Matched Couple - Stanley Spencer - referential frame - comparison; ošklivost - zlo - krása - "správná podoba" - Michelangelo - Nerovný pár - Stanley Spencer - referenční rámec - srovnání (search for similar items in EconPapers)
