Argument from beauty

The argument from beauty (also the aesthetic argument) is an argument for the existence of a realm of immaterial Ideas or, most commonly, for the existence of God.
==History of the Argument==

The argument from beauty has two aspects. The first is connected with the independent existence of what philosophers term a "universal", see Universal (metaphysics) and also Problem of universals. Plato argued that particular examples of, say a circle, all fall short of the perfect exemplar of a circle that exists outside the realm of the senses as an eternal Idea. Beauty for Plato is a particularly important type of universal. Perfect beauty exists only in the eternal Form of beauty, see Platonic epistemology. For Plato the argument for a timeless idea of beauty does not involve so much whether the gods exist (Plato was not a monotheist) but rather whether there is an immaterial realm independent and superior to the imperfect world of sense. Later Greek thinkers such as Plotinus (ca. 204/5–270 CE) expanded Plato's argument to support the existence of a totally transcendent "One", containing no parts. Plotinus identified this "One" with the concept of "Good" and the principle of "Beauty". Christianity adopted this Neo-Platonic conception and saw it as a strong argument for the existence of a supreme God. In the early fifth century, for example, Augustine of Hippo discusses the many beautiful things in nature and asks "Who made these beautiful changeable things, if not one who is beautiful and unchangeable?"〔''Sermons of St. Augustine'', 241, Easter: c.411 CE〕 This second aspect is what most people today understand as the argument from beauty.
