ART AND PHILOSOPHY
(3)Aesthetic questions have been answered in many different ways The Greek philosopher Plato, for example, taught that all people are born with knowledge of perfect types - archetypes Everything that people perceive on Earth is a copy of an archetype, and people judge whatever they see, feel, smell, touch, taste by comparing it to its archetype A painting of a rose, therefore, should be judged by comparing it to a real rose The real rose, after all, is itself a copy of the archetypical rose
But if Plato's aesthetic ideas are correct, why people disagree about beauty? For instance, why some people consider the paintings of Picasso to be intelligent and beautiful, while others consider them to be stupid and ugly? If everyone is born with knowledge of archetypes, then everyone should agree about what institutes beauty
Plato's answer to this objection is that although everyone can know archetypes, not everyone does Only people who make an effort to use their knowledge of archetypes Others are either not aware that they have this knowledge, or are simply too lazy to develop it
Many people are dissatisfied with this answer, therefore, there are many aesthetic theories besides Plato's People seem to have a need to define; aestheticians have been providing definitions of beauty for over a thousand years; but they have yet to provide a definition with which everyone agrees
