Ugly - Ugly (English spelling)

Japanese: 醜 - しゅう(英語表記)ugliness; das Hässliche
Ugly - Ugly (English spelling)
In aesthetics, it is a concept that is treated in correlation with beauty. It is usually considered anti-aesthetic, rejecting aesthetic formation, and referring to something that causes discomfort by separating the content and form of a work. Since K. Rosenkranz established ugliness as one of the aesthetic categories in Ästhetik des Hässlichen (Aesthetics of Ugliness) in 1853, its positive value as an auxiliary means (concept) to highlight beauty has been discussed. However, these are judgments that divide a work into form and content, and are made by analogy from the ugliness of the content or material, and it can be said that another judgment intervenes in aesthetic judgment. In the aesthetics of B. Croce and others who see a work as an indivisible whole, as long as it is a work of art, it is beautiful, and ugliness is out of the question.

Japanese:
美学上,美と相関的に扱われる概念。普通は反美的なものとされ,美的形成を拒み,作品の内容と形式を乖離させて,不快感をもよおさせるものをいう。 1853年 K.ローゼンクランツが『醜なるものの美学』 Ästhetik des Hässlichenにおいて醜を美的範疇の一つとして以来,美をきわだたせる補助手段 (概念) としてその積極的価値が論じられている。しかし,これらは作品を形式と内容に分け,内容あるいは素材の醜から類推的に行われる判断であり,美的判断に別の判断が介入しているといえる。作品を不可分な統一体としてみる B.クローチェなどの美学では,作品であるかぎり美であり,醜は論外とされる。
