What is Beauty in the 21st Century
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper explores the current state of beauty, its meaning, and the significance it holds for human existence. The inquiry extends across various disciplines such as philosophy, psychiatry, history, and theology, as well as through different forms of media like painting, photography, cinema, and advertising. From Plato to Nietzsche, from Franz Capra to Fellini, Sorrentino, Benigni, or Monteverde, answers vary, and perceptions differ. Nevertheless, beauty possesses its own truth, and within this journey of discovery, one finds cleanliness, purity, and goodness.
