Genius As An Aesthetic Criteria:
Albert Einstein.
Relations between Beauty and that of the respective Ultimate Good are questions for philosophical inquiry as to what they mean independently and as a group related.
When we think of the Almighty: the God of Love; all which is Good; and all Wonder in life; we think of he who dwells above (and among) us, amongst the sun, the stars, and the moon as the omnipresent Almighty. The study of the latter-most subjects – that of space and time can usually be considered cosmology in philosophical inquiry.
The terms themselves indicative of a greater relationship than that of the philosophical question tells of a deep relationship when we take their alternate placeholders: in the case of cosmology and the ultimate good in the Almighty there we see a relationship to beauty or more commercially known: the practice of cosmetology. The constitution of the terms themselves are similar enough as to indicate a deeper meaning, especially considered with their definitions. In the case of cosmology and he who observes from his divine perch, we have the ultimate Good: God. With respect to professional cosmetology, we have the intrinsic values indicative of beauty. If taken through the process of determining similarity, their highest genius and that of our moral ideals – therein we find an aesthetic criteria. Pure intelligence or more generally applied that of intellectual horsepower can no longer be conceived properly in so much as just its intellectual cellular makeup (that of the brain), or that of the physical (that of the body).
It should though be laid bare in partial measure manifest- in that of the physical self fulfilling prophecy. In the social context or that of pro sports, we see this occurrence showcase at the zenith of play. That of physical, and special pique performance and its beauty in portrayal.
Oft described, genius is that not sufficiently described by pure intelligence of one kind… that of the math or science specialist on one hand, or that of the 350lb defensive lineman who can run a blitz 40 yard dash.
The same criteria, a confluent quality need be further applied amongst a variety of disciplines... that of the general, well rounded, stable genius.
It's for this reason incumbent on the social fabric of society that the structure of our outputs, and our outputs themselves matter more than the simple measurement of those outputs. By ascribing meaning to the portrait and substance to put forth genius qualities, we can appreciate the mastery of the diverse and stable genius.
Because these domains are indicative of a wide score: mental, physical, theological, social, and others, I posit a conclusion where process and substance trumps a singular focus on one or the other as the latter puts forth non sufficient conditions for the deduction of genius as a discussion based advancement of societal meritocracy.
