Publisher's Synopsis
The Essence of Ugliness is a philosophical exploration of the concept of ugliness by W.T. Stace. The book delves into the nature of ugliness, its relation to beauty, and its subjective and objective qualities. Stace argues that ugliness is not simply the absence of beauty, but rather a distinct quality that can be appreciated on its own terms. He also examines the cultural and historical factors that shape our perceptions of ugliness, and the ways in which ugliness can be used as a tool for social and political commentary. Ultimately, The Essence of Ugliness offers a thought-provoking analysis of a complex and often overlooked aspect of aesthetics.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Meaning of Beauty a Theory of Aesthetics, by W.
