Meme-find beauty as end in itself

submitted by uncle29A to whatever 3 yearsApr 24, 2021 21:48:03 ago (+0/-0)     (whatever)

By some philosopher...something about beauty as a good in and of itself...to that effect etc. Or even just the quote I can meme it myself. Thx!

"Everything in any way beautiful has its beauty of itself, inherent and self-sufficient..." ?
Marcus Aurelius

Sorry good dude, it wasn't the right one when I looked up the full quote by Aurelius.

The one I am looking for is something about beauty being noble in and of itself, beauty as a goal, beauty as containing the good. Gosh it's really slipping from my mind now...darn.

Well, now it's going to drive me crazy. I got to digging and I keep ending up with Platos 'symposium'. This touches on it but gives a few other examples.
