It exists out there, it's not just a word, even if we changed beauty with anything else, the emotions these combinations of qualities evoke will be the same. also I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface, it's like trying to describe color to a blind person.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 24 15:14:56 2015 No.6311247 Beauty is the categorical truth condition of a biconditional which lingers in the transcendental space of uncountably infinite reasons that are, quite frankly, our best friends.

Well, Epicurus, the Greeks perfected a set of variables for the optimal body proportions in art and architecture. This standard has been prevalent throughout the Renaissance all the way up to the neoclassical movement.
Edmund Burke then discovered that beauty lay in the sublime and not in the perfect, as was previously thought. This gave birth to the romantic age taking over from the neoclassical movement of static beauty. The chaoticness and emotionality of the romantic art then degenerated into expressionism, modern art and all sort of weird shit that liberals pretend to like.

When the aesthetic appearance of an object is congruent with your own presuppositions about desirable/undesirable visual qualities. It can never be an adequate judge of an inherent value within the object, IE that the object IS beautiful, but instead the object can only ever appear beautiful.
