On Beauty: Three Discourses Delivered in the University of Edinburgh with an Exposition of the Doctrine of the Beautiful According to Plato is a book written by John Stuart Blackie. The book is divided into three discourses, each of which explores the concept of beauty from a philosophical perspective. The first discourse discusses the nature of beauty and how it is perceived by the human mind. The second discourse explores the relationship between beauty and morality, arguing that beauty is essential to the development of moral character. The third discourse examines the role of beauty in art and literature, arguing that beauty is a fundamental element of artistic expression. Throughout the book, Blackie draws heavily on the ideas of Plato, particularly his concept of the Forms, to explore the nature of beauty and its significance for human life. The book is a classic work of philosophy and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the nature of beauty and its role in human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
