Is the admiration of objective beauty a universal experience?

I'm sure I didn't word the question right, so let me explain my question. My students and I were reading Mortimer Adler's essay on ';The Idea of Beauty.'; We also studied the Divine Proportion in relation to Objective Beauty. We wondered if everyone, based on idea of Divine Proportion and the admiration for an object that is considered objectively beautiful was a universal experience. Leon Alberti insisted that beauty has objective reality. If this is true, would someone from China or India believe that an object was beautiful, because of its ';Divine Proportion.'; I might be wrong, but I think that it's also called the Golden Section. There's more information on the Golden Section at http://milan.milanovic.org/math/english/golden/golden4.html

Try reading Carl Young, and his theories on archetypal concepts. To have anything to be a universal experience humans would need to first have an archetypal concept to base the agreement upon.





Studies have shown that beauty is relative to society in regards to human form, but universal in relation to images that reflect plants.Is the admiration of objective beauty a universal experience?
Of course. Architects and artists use the golden rectangle principle all the time. It's why people are awed by some objects without knowing why.
