สุนทรียศาสตร์ในมุมมองพุทธปรัชญาเถรวาท

Abstract

This article examines aesthetics from the viewpoint of Theravada Buddhist Philosophy, and finds that Buddhist Philosophy considers beauty in two different ways: supposed beauty and ultimate beauty. According to Buddhist Philosophy, “feelings” are processes that arise in human perception. The values of such feelings have significant implications on human perceptions and learning. Aesthetic feelings stimulate learning about and understanding both merit and demerit. Buddhist Philosophy teaches us to choose aesthetic feelings that have meritorious values.
