Краса як феномен сприйняття і відображення світу

Abstract

Сприйняття і відображення людиною світу відбувається за допомогою різних засобів та інструментів, кожен з яких має свої переваги і функціональні особливості. Особливу роль в ієрархії таких інструментів відіграє феномен краси – універсальний критерій і масштаб для компаративного аналізу всіх явищ і процесів.

Perception and reflection of the world by man is carried out by different means and instruments, each of which has its advantages and functional features. A special role in the hierarchy of instruments belongs to the phenomenon of beauty – the universal criteria and scale for comparative analysis of all phenomena and processes. A person’s thinking is a reflection of the essence of the objective world in its essential ties and mutual conditionality. The beauty of nature is similar to the Ariadne’s thread - it serves as a model to compare the phenomena and processes according to the criteria of aesthetics. The beauty of nature contains a powerful spiritual and emotional stimulus, impetus for creativity, a desire to live and work according to the laws of nature. Beauty as a phenomenon of perception and reflection of the world leaves a spiritual imprint in the human consciousness and serves as a reliable basis for the formation of highly spiritual personality traits. The beauty of nature does not open to everybody and at once, since the way to acquire it is thorny. For example, D. Diderot singled out 12 reasons for different views on the beauty. The essential ones are related to the fact that people frequently do not consider nature, but use their personal ideas – prejudice against an object, shallow associations and analogies, misconceptions and misinterpretations of things, caused by blurred outlines, ignorance, superstitions etc. All these restrict the ability to see the world actual beauty. Comprehension of the natural beauty is also complicated because it depends on the depth of the object cognition and cognizer’s life experience, on natural broadness of his or her mind, as well as the social influences, which enable or disable objects to inspire the feeling of beauty in us. However, taste differences do not deny objective existence of beauty laws. It is doubtless that there are people unable to see the world beauty, but most people understand it.
