Abstract

Artistic personalities, by their creative works, express their concept of beauty, though it is not necessary for it to comply with the philosophical dialects of aesthetics. But even then, their perception of beauty solves many philosophical problems. Mir Amman Dehlavi (1748-1806) famous Urdu prose writer, was neither a philosopher nor an aesthetician but even then, he had a sophisticated sense of beauty which is depicted in his famous book Bāgh-o-Bahār. He presented beauty in its different shapes; for him, beauty is subjective, mysterious and transcendental. With great intensity, he has described its psychological effects on the observer.  His aesthetical notion, as evident in this book has also many similarities with Kant's (1724-1804) theory of Sublime. This article discusses Mir Amman's concept of beauty extracted from his book Bāgh-o-Bahār.
