Abstract:
Beauty as one of the most deeply rooted natural wishes of human being, and art as the practical manifestation of his wish In the realm of human life, are two important categories in human investigations. Thus nowadays the philosophy of art and aesthetics are closely linked with religion, ethics, and most of other branches of humanities, etc. Furthermore, the inclusiveness of the range of the influence of art in individual as well as social life of human being in all ages, particularly in our age, doubles the necessity of basic and applied researches in this field. Studying the thoughts of Ayatollah Mesbah concerning beauty and art, the present article first deals with the meaning of art and fine arts, and then with the definition of beauty and its relation with art . Study of the position of form and matter (form and contents) in art has found its way into the fields of beauty. In addition, analysis of relativity in arts has led to raising the issue of “art and value” and researching into it.
