The Sense of Beauty: Being the Outline of Aesthetic Theory (English Version) - Odyssee

Beauty is not a property of objects but a feeling awakened in the human mind—this is the central idea explored in The Sense of Beauty. The work delves into the ways humans perceive beauty through sensation, emotion, and imagination. Rather than treating aesthetics as a rigid science, it presents beauty as a natural and pleasurable experience, rooted in the harmony between our faculties and the forms we encounter in the world.

The book is structured around four main themes: the nature of beauty, the materials through which beauty is conveyed, the importance of form, and the role of expression. Each section builds on the idea that aesthetic judgment is deeply personal, yet guided by shared human responses to balance, clarity, and meaning. It is both a philosophical inquiry and a poetic meditation on why beauty captivates and sustains the human spirit.
