Beauty is commonly defined as the emotional state of certain objects, which makes these objects enjoyable to see. These objects could be nature, humans, landscapes and works of art, among many others. Beauty, with art and beauty, is now the most significant theme of modern aesthetics, among the most important branches of social philosophy.
