Okay, I was a bit sloppy in my writing. What I meant was that almost always there is a reason for us liking it. For instance, we find other people sexually attractive BECAUSE our biology tells us to. We enjoy a fast car BECAUSE it gives us a thrill when we go at high speeds. With beauty, we can't (and this is quite Kantanian) say why something is beautiful, it simply is. — UngeGosh
Beauty is part of the fabric of reality. So, beauty exists with or without human experience. What's my evidence for that statement? None, or rather, only experience. — Noble Dust
How is beauty connected to perception? — Noble Dust
Why did it take humanity so long to decide that this sort of music was beautiful? — Noble Dust
not everyone likes flowers. They are cliche, some may say.(4)I see a beautiful flower and am entranced by its colors and shape. — River
It all depends on what the things mean to the person and how the person looks at them at that moment.
Everyone has their own definition of beauty. What's beautiful in my eyes might not be beautiful in yours.
