The Philosophy of Beauty?

Question

I was assigned to look for the Philosophy of Beauty, but I can't seem to find it around here the net. Search sites give me other results like, the aesthetics product brand named Philosophy. So, MOST of the time, I get results like how much this Philosophy make-up cost, and the like. So please, help me. I already have some research's about it, but I need more. Thanks in advance though.

Answer 1

Kant, Schopenhauer, and Plato offer some thoughts on Beauty.

There is a good deal of psychological research into what constitutes beauty, and it is human-wide (symmetry, phi, and suchlike).

"Creation:  Artistic and Spiritual," O. M. Aivanhov, is also good.

Kant offers the notion of physis-beauty, beauty of use, and

psyche-beauty, beauty as Platonic/noumenal (which he terms "free beauty").

Unlike mentation, in which Kant could find no Noumenon, for emotion as beauty, Kant seems to be able to find both phenomenal and noumenal categories ("dependent beauty" and "free beauty").
