What is beauty? Another view of beauty. BEAUTY = aesthetic concept, aesthetic function = what we (subjectively) like, what satisfies us, what we like, what corresponds to our ideal - so beauty is a relative category, because something different can be beautiful for each of us. The concept of beauty is influenced by historical, social and national classification, contemporary rules, morality, occupation, education, intelligence, natural conditions - contemporary concept of beauty (searching for beauty in ugliness, ugliness in beauty - French cursed poets, e.g. Baudelaire - poem Zdechlina - smell , worms, rot - an unattractive but natural phenomenon. The author describes everything as a beautiful and noble thing). The view of beauty from a historical point of view has therefore changed - for example, in antiquity it was a combination of physical and mental beauty, in the Middle Ages the ideal of beauty was a martyr, a saint, the Renaissance returns to antiquity. We refer to the opposite of beauty as hideous.
Beauty as a general concept is limited by human perception. There is no clear definition of it, we can try to interpret it subjectively or objectively. The objective interpretation of beauty lies in the harmony of individual parts forming wholes. Subjective perception is largely determined by the evaluator's individual sense of pleasure, but also by fashion and the entire cultural and social paradigm. It is no coincidence that the definition of what is beautiful has changed throughout history and often even contradicted itself. In general, however, what is beautiful to a person is what is in harmony with nature and life in it, i.e. what life expresses, symbolizes or at least reminds of. Beauty is a manifestation of unity and harmony arising from the principles of a perfectly functioning order. This perfect order is contained in the universe, it keeps it going. The perfect order, functioning on the principle of causality, sometimes also includes apparent randomness, the result of which is the existence of man. The human body is also a perfectly functioning whole, it is a microcosm, a reflection of the beauty and laws of the universe. However, the full beauty of a human being is determined by the observance of the moral order, morality, which is again a reflection of the perfect cosmic order. But true beauty is an interplay of negative and positive, it would not exist in the absence of contrasts that draw attention to each other.

I turned to painters since they should also have some knowledge of beauty! The answer was clear: beauty is harmony, and the criterion is the golden ratio. This is not an invention of aestheticians; it is observed in nature. Human bodies are also built based on this criterion! Painters and mathematicians both utilize this principle.
Ireland is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes, which can contribute to the appreciation of Irish women's beauty. However, beauty is not solely determined by physical appearance but also encompasses inner qualities such as confidence, kindness, intelligence, and many other factors.
It is essential to celebrate beauty in all its forms and recognize that every individual, regardless of their nationality or background, has their own unique beauty.
