Throughout history, beauty has been considered a value for humans. Beauty practices start from foot binding and continue until today with cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction. On every billboard, magazine and retailer, citizens are reminded that they are not as physically attractive as they could be and that there is a solution to their problem. In his analysis of beauty, Kant asserts that beauty is moral. Although physical beauty is highly valued in society, it is not a determining factor when it comes to determining morality and making ethical judgments. To support this, I will present Aristotle's Virtue Ethics and David Hume's Treatise on Human Nature to demonstrate that beauty is independent of virtue and does not influence morality because it is not taken into account. matters when we talk about morality. Kant argues that beauty is equivalent to morality. He states: “Beauty pleases immediately, selflessly, through the freedom of the imagination and with universal validity.
