Question 1: In her book, Basic Issues in Aesthetics (1998), cited
in the Study Guide, Marcia Eaton discusses the difficulties with
defining the terms “beauty” and “aesthetics.” Referring to this
excerpt, in an essay of 500-800 words, argue that it is possible
for these terms to be used objectively. In other words, argue that
it possible to define what “beauty” and “aesthetics” are. You
may refer to the examples Eaton uses but can also provide your
own. Include your references to the Study Guide both in-text
and in a bibliography. [20]

The Objectivity of "Beauty" and "Aesthetics"
The terms "beauty" and "aesthetics" have been the subject of
much philosophical debate, often considered subjective concepts
that differ across cultures, individuals, and eras. Marcia Eaton,
in her book Basic Issues in Aesthetics (1998), acknowledges
these difficulties but explores the possibility of objective
definitions of beauty and aesthetics. Although these terms may
seem subjective, this essay argues that it is possible to define
beauty and aesthetics objectively, supported by Eaton's
arguments and other examples.
Eaton begins by recognizing the challenge in defining "beauty."
The term is often associated with personal experience, leading
many to believe that beauty is subjective. However, Eaton
suggests that beauty can be understood objectively if we
consider the underlying principles that govern its perception.
