lecture on 11/21

During class we discussed the meaning of beauty. the meaning of beauty seems to differ with each person. Plato believed that beauty is the abstract world or the forms. He also believed that beauty is objective and goodness.Aristotle believed that beauty  is the world we actually live in, the world of real objects and the beauty  is about things having the appropriate order.In Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Hamlets view of beauty is deceiving. Today's view of beauty  has become distorted and a unreachable ideal that the media wants to tall people to look a certain way to be considered beautiful.
