the same in both cases.
Kant’s idea of beauty is that beauty gives
the observer a feeling of disinterested
pleasure or liking. ‘Disinterested’ meaning
that it does not fulfill an aim or satisfy a
need. Beauty judgements are not objective,
but nevertheless universal.
Physical Beauty is understood as
experienced beauty in primarily a
relational perspective. Implied is that not
just that ugly nose or plain face concerns
us, but the story that a person tells about
their nose, face or other bodily parts, as
experienced by them or others.
The characterization of a person therefore
includes, values, beliefs, desires and
psychological qualities, which togerher
constitute someone as a person. Changing
a persons look via sugery does not
necessarily make someone a different
person, no matter how drastic the change.
