Has there ever been a systematic attempt at subsuming the ethical under the beautiful? I am not sure if it is a particular and unique pathology of mine, but even after reading Kant, Aristotle, Mill, Kierkegaard and many others, I still cannot help but experience striving for beauty as the primary normative source in my life. I want to finally understand why.

They must be kept separate at all costs. You may live your life in the pursuit of beauty, but you do so at the cost of ethics.

The first half of Either/Or argues for this. The second half shows why the first half is wrong.
