Abstract:
The concept of ugliness, often perceived as a subjective judgment, plays a significant role in lexical semantics, shaping how language conveys perceptions of physical, moral, and aesthetic dissonance. This analysis explores the semantic structures and connotations of "ugliness" within various lexical fields, examining its representation in dictionaries, everyday language, and literary texts. By drawing on insights from cognitive linguistics, sociolinguistics, and cultural studies, the paper investigates how linguistic markers of ugliness go beyond mere physical appearances to include aspects o

Abstract:
Even though as of late there has been a renewed interest in the aesthetic ideals in early Medieval England, the conceptualisation and experience of ugliness in Old English sources has been largely neglected. Drawing on the recent research carried out on aesthetic emotions and folk aesthetics, and despite the lack of academic materials on artistic and literary canons of ugliness, the purpose of this paper is to look into the terms that rendered the experience of ugliness and its closest emotional response, aesthetic horror, in order to examine how these are employed in poetic texts.

Abstract:
The article draws attention to the ethical and pastoral dangers associated with the theological subordination of ugliness to other purposes, such as universal harmony and order, the search for the immutable, or divination. It also traces the tendency to conflate moral and aesthetic ugliness, which has led to the marginalisation or even persecution of others on the basis of their outward appearance. As a counterpoint to these tendencies, the article emphasises the idea of the ugly suffering servant Christ, which contains pastoral and countercultural potential.

Abstract:
Kant’s theory of taste supports his political theory by providing the judgment of beauty as a symbol of the good and example of teleological experience, allowing us to imagine the otherwise obscure movement of nature and history toward the ideal human community. If interpreters are correct in believing that Kant should make room for pure judgments of ugliness in his theory of taste, we will have to consider the implications of such judgments for Kant’s political theory. It is here proposed that pure, formal ugliness symbolizes regressive, counter-teleological trends in nature and history. Kant

Nowadays, the role and meaning aesthetics issue are important. In this context, people classified as ugly are objects of increasing stigmatization.

Abstract:
Sufism teachings are increasingly needed in the current era of globalization as an effort to minimize the ugliness as well as the gap in human attitudes towards oneself, fellow humans, and also Allah SWT. The practice of Sufism which is exemplified by the Sufis in general provides a side of religious values that results in a noble moral behavior. Noble morals give hope for the formation of an advanced civilization and do not ignore the divine values that always exist in human life.

Though originated from a different historio-geographical background, Mohammad Taghi Jafari’s definition of moral conscience in his book The Conscience helps to further explore Fyodor Dostoevsky’s thematic concern with the same notion in Crime and Punishment. The following study probes into the concepts of self-evaluation and repentance as reflected in the novel. It then explores the manifestation of a phenomenon called the «ugliness of conscience» and all its implications ranging from hallucinations and self-hatred to paranoia and nightmares in this classic work of fiction.

Diana Arbus is a photographer to be criticized for unethical practices, yet her unique photographic style has left a lasting imprint on civilization. She's good at capturing marginalized societal groups, confronting the harsh realities and ugliness. Her work influenced people's contemplation of photographic art, while simultaneously subjecting her to significant ethical controversies. Arbus's photographs evoke feelings of terror and discomfort, but at the same time, she shed light on the people and experiences hidden in the shadows, revealing the greatness and sacredness of suffering and its e

Abstract:
As a scientific discipline, morality with ethics orients its study on human behavior in the perspective of how it should not be. So not a few among Muslims who translate morals with ethics. In fact, the two depart from a different study and from a different source. Morals are developed from standard Islamic sources, namely the Qur'an and Sunnah. While ethics is developed from the thinking of the human brain, namely philosophy, so that one is sacred and the other is profane, one is from heaven and the other is from earth, one is kholiq, while the other is from creatures.

Rather than focusing exclusively on Aristotle’s own account of shame and its possible shortcomings, this chapter offers a philosophical meditation on contrasting interpretations of the emotion of shame within four academic discourses: social psychology, psychological anthropology, educational psychology, and Aristotelian scholarship. It turns out that within each of these discourses there is a mainstream interpretation which emphasizes shame’s expendability or moral ugliness, but also a heterodox interpretation which seeks to retrieve and defend shame.

Being alive is beautiful. The habit of beauty is seeing patients’ aliveness and seeking to restore or promote it, even as patients are dying. Injury, not ugliness, is the opposite of beauty, as Elaine Scarry points out. An injury is an injustice, or something that is not right about a person’s life. It is in this sense that an injury—that which threatens aliveness—is a moral wrong. Nurses seek to redress injustices by seeking to restore or promote patients’ aliveness, even as they are dying. That is, by seeking to promote or restore aliveness, nurses restore and distribute justice to patients’

Abstract:
In Buddhist ethical traditions, equanimity along with love, compassion, and sympathetic joy form what are called the four boundless qualities, which are affective states one cultivates for moral and spiritual development. But there is a sense in which equanimity seems very unlike the three others: love, compassion, and sympathetic joy all imply an emotional investment in others, whereas equanimity seems to imply an absence of such investment. This observation has provoked debate as to how to properly understand the relationship between equanimity and the other three boundless qualities. This e

World in Akhushkov’s prose is a grotesque world, an absurd world, with its own reality, its own laws of being, its own heroes. It’s the world that almost without exceptions does

Abstract The world is full of suffering. God is either helpless to prevent it, in which case He is not all-powerful, or does not choose to prevent it, in which case He is not all-good. For generations this has been regarded as the most effective argument against the belief that an omnipotent and omnibenevolent being exists. Naturally, theists have tried their hardest to come up with an adequate reply. Among the numerous suggestions as to how to meet the atheistic challenge we find some that contain important religious ideas yet, unfortunately, do not mitigate the problem. Many of us have heard

Abstract:
The Bible has been the source of great truth, goodness, and beauty at the same time as it has inspired lies, wickedness, and ugliness. What it has not produced is a uniform manner of its reading and interpretation. The very process of canonization is nevertheless part of an attempt to limit diversity and deviance of belief within religious communities. Ultimately, however, there is no controlling the way it is read. It is important therefore to be critically aware of the different kinds of uses to which the Bible may be put and to learn to discriminate among them. Readers need to exercise thei

Abstract:
There has been a small movement among recent critics and philosophers to rehabilitate the reputation of beauty, which suffered under the modernist fascination with ugliness, Romantic and postmodern prejudice in favor of the sublime, and political criticism of beauty as elitist, inefficacious, and complicit with injustice. This chapter seeks to reframe these debates by examining the link between beauty and religious ontologies. Weber, following Nietzsche, insisted that secular modernity had broken sympathetic relations between beauty and goodness, but in Woolf’s novels the beautiful cannot shed
