OverviewThe Sense of Beauty is a book on aesthetics by George Santayana. Beauty, as defined by Santayana, is an objectified pleasure. It does not originate from divine inspiration, as was commonly described by philosophers, but from a naturalistic psychology. Santayana objects to the role of God in aesthetics in the metaphysical sense, but accepts the use of God as metaphor. His argument that beauty is a human experience, based on the senses, is influential in the field of aesthetics. According to Santayana, beauty is linked to pleasure, and is fundamental to human purpose and experience. Beauty does not originate from pleasurable experiences, by itself, or from the objects that bring about pleasure. It is when the experience and emotion of pleasure intertwines with the qualities of the object that beauty arises. Beauty is a manifestation of perfection, and as Santayana writes, the sense of beauty has a more important place in life than aesthetic theory has ever taken in philosophy.
