Professor Ardian Ndreca held a lecture on the topic "Aesthetic Judgment. Beauty and its Opposite" at the "Sotir Kolea" Center at the National Library. The human encounter and perception of beauty was seen in different eras starting from antiquity. Beauty as balance, order, pleasure, or as a universal dimension and beauty in relation to ugliness. According to Ndreca, there was another approach in the Middle Ages, where beauty also took into account value.

"We find it even in the Middle Ages. Beauty is connected to goodness, to the being of God, Aurel Agustini, says that beauty is the perfect ratio of parts, where there is symmetry, geometry, where there is order, let's not forget, order is the opposite of chaos. The cosmos is connected to beauty", he said. At a time when ugliness is urban, aesthetic, social, political and global - influenced by various tensions and inequalities, talking about beauty takes on more importance. Ndreca also stopped at modernity.

"What happens with modernity is that two fundamental things happen, the first is the Galilean revolution that no longer functions as a physics of quality but as a physics of quantity. So nature is studied through mathematics," said Ndreca. The conversation brought a reflection on aesthetic judgment and ways of experiencing and perceiving beauty, influenced by the eras and thinkers who devoted themselves to the study of human nature and its behaviors in relation to beauty.
