What A Beautiful Corpse


Pregunta 1: Is it ever immoral to find something beautiful; for example, is it ever immoral to find a dead person or a tsumani beautiful?

I do not think that it is ever immoral to find something beautiful especially since beauty, I think, is entirely subjective. I also think that what a person finds beautiful is not up to any individual; people are predisposed to find certain things beautiful.

I suppose it would only really become immoral when a person's view that something is beautiful causes that person to act immorally in order to have the opportunity to see that thing. That is, when a person kills another person that they may see a dead person's body, that murderer is immoral not because they find dead people beautiful but because they killed someone.

It may also be a sort of immoral to express what they find beautiful at certain times. It may be immoral to, at a grandmother funeral, to say that you find the dead grandmother to beautiful based exclusively on that fact that she is indeed dead.
