Ošklivost mezi estetikou a etikou

Abstract

This essay explains the problems with the definition of ugliness as one of the basic aesthetic categories. Here, it is conceived as a deformation of the "right form" of species appearance of objects, whereas the "right form" is not understood as one model, but rather as a dimension. By providing examples from the history of philosophy and visual arts (Neo-Platonism, Michelangelo, modern spiritual art), the necessity to understand ugliness in the wider referential frames is shown. It is also shown in what manner the comparison participates in the final judgment.
