Introduction


In her book, Basic Issues in Aesthetics (1998), Marcia Eaton highlights the complexities

surrounding the definitions of "beauty" and "aesthetics." While many argue that these concepts

are inherently subjective, I contend that it is indeed possible to define them objectively. This

essay will explore the potential for objective definitions of beauty and aesthetics, drawing on

Eaton's examples and additional insights.
