ABSOLUTISM

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 76 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABSOLUTISM , in
aesthetics
 , a
term
  applied to the theory that beauty is an objective attribute of things, not merely a subjective feeling of
pleasure
  in him who perceives. It follows that there is an
absolute
 
standard
  of the beautiful by which all objects can be judged. The fact that, in practice, the judgments even of connoisseurs are perpetually at variance, and that the so-called criteria of one
place
  or period are more or less opposed to those of all others, is explained away by the hypothesis that individuals are differently gifted in respect of the capacity to appreciate. (See
AESTHETICS
 .)
In political
philosophy
  absolutism, as opposed to constitutional government, is the despotic
rule
  of a sovereign unrestrained by
laws
  and based directly upon force. In the strict sense suchgovernments are rare, but it is customary to apply the
term
  to ;a state at a relatively backward stage of constitutional development.
