Abstract
Beauty; due to its natural attraction, innermost power and popularity; has captured the consideration of philosophers, poets as well as artists for a long in the intellectual circles historically. From early Greek to modern and postmodern times philosophers, poets and critics have been discussing various aspects of aesthetics in relation to manifold dimensions of nature, beauty and human reality. Aesthetics demonstrates the innermost and essential modes and models of beauty and nature in relation to human reality in an absolute variety [awesome variety]. In contrast to this, beauty was necessarily associated with goodness, virtue and divinity in Greek Times. Later on it got into ethical cum social and religious truth of human reality ontologically. Moreover, aesthetics consigned beauty to the subjectivity and objectivity conditions in the main stream of discussions regarding human consciousness and its relation to phenomenal world out there. However in the post-modern circles the concepts of beauty lost the objective significance, rather got accentuated in the one dimensionality of group or public interest retaining or revising beauty as willed and desired. This view challenged the objectivity of beauty in itself such as beauty is value manifestation of nature. In this research article we have discussed and explored various notions of Aesthetic reflecting beauty, nature and human reality. In this context, we have disused aesthetic in general and Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai’s poetry in particular. We have philosophically analyzed Shah’s aesthetic vision and poetic tendency to bring basic notions of beauty to a disclosure. This research would lead us to expose essential aspects of philosophical KAROONJHAR [Research Journal] Philosophical study of Beauty: History of Aesthetics with Special Reference to the Poetry of Shah Latif 30 description of poetry as the art of human mind. Following this, Shah’s poetry not only eulogizes beauty latent in the nature [objective phenomenal world] but also the power of divine beauty as unified totality.
