Abstract

Beauty was once the main or even exclusive topic of aesthetics.
Now, two hundred years after Karl Rosenkranz’s Aesthetics of Ugliness and a
formidable development of fine arts in which many atmospheres beyond the
edge of beauty were produced, it may be time again to ask the fundamental
question of what the beautiful is like. But putting this question we notice that
since the 18th century our aesthetical experience has deeply changed, so that
the concept of traditional beauty must be changed itself.
