Beauty
Ein Gastvortrag von Raffaele Torella | Dipartimento Istituto Italiano di Studi Orientali, Sapienza Università di Roma
Seminarraum 1, Institut für Südasien-, Tibet- und Buddhismuskunde
AAKH, Spitalgasse 2, Hof 2.7, 1090 Wien
Vortrag
To Abhinavagupta, beauty (saundarya) is not a property of the thing, accessible to everyone’s experience indiscriminately, nor is it a hidden, undefinable quality of the thing itself requiring from the perceiving subject a special kind of insight which only a happy few can possess. Rather, beauty is a special way of approaching reality that alone “creates” beauty in the object. Thus, only our spiritual refinement is responsible for the emergence of beauty, and in turn the beauty-based experience – i.e. aesthetic experience (rasa, etc.) – nourishes our spiritual refinement, helping us to escape from saṃsāra.
