Romantic Aesthetics in Al-Kindi's Philosophical Doctrine
Keywords:
Al-Kindi, Islamic philosophy, aesthetics, romanticism, beauty, artistic creativityAbstract
This study explores the aesthetics of romanticism in the philosophical doctrine of Al-Kindi, one of the most prominent figures of early Islamic philosophy. Al-Kindi’s contributions to aesthetics are often overshadowed by his work in logic, metaphysics, and science, yet his ideas about beauty, harmony, and artistic expression reflect elements of what can be interpreted as a form of romantic aesthetics. His philosophical reflections on the nature of beauty emphasize the deep relationship between the material and the metaphysical, an approach that resonates with later romantic movements.
