I have gotten into an argument with a person about beauty. About whether beauty is objective or not.
His argument is that there is no intrinsic or fundamental quantity or quality of beauty.
It does not truly objectively exist. It is merely subjective "In the eye of the beholder" so to speak.
Like for example the comparison between Mona Lisa and a Blank canvas in his opinion one is not truly superior to the other of like when there are instances that that Mona Lisa is offensive to certain people while not having the issue with a blank canvas while others think the opposite way.
The fact that even if one can find something pleasing to most people its not the same as being objectively pleasing. Even if universally appealing to all people means its merely appealing to people not that it objectively exists and it can be measured or quantified by some metric.
