| N.Hartman advocated the independence of value. He stressed that the value does not rely on actual facts but stands independently. He attributed the value to inner attitude or spontaneity of feeling as well as reaction to experienced facts. This value comes from intuition and it comes from purity and universality in its categorematic structure. According to N.Hartman, relativity and absoluteness are complimentary to each other in the value. He asserted that the aesthetic value represents all kinds of beauty. This special quality of the beauty can be discovered in natural beauty and human physical appearance as well as art. This beauty comes out of the personality of humans. This aesthetic value is comprised of the existence and comfort values, and the independence of their aesthetic value can be summarized as follows: First, the existence and comfort values do not reappear as element in the aesthetic value. Second, the level of the existence and comfort values does not determine the level of the aesthetic value. Third, the realization of the existence and comfort values is not related to the realization of the aesthetic value. This study comes to conclusion that the value ranks in order of aesthetic value, ethical value, life value, existence value, and comfort value. However, N.Hartman viewed that the aesthetic value is not universally or inevitably based on the ethical value, life value, existence value, and comfort value in order and that nothing should be based on any of these. In conclusion, the aesthetic beauty cannot be arrayed in order and nothing can be revealed but for just a distinctive one. |
