Abstract

The natural or artificial environment consists of a series of lines, forms and volumes that create a feeling and mentality in humans that is felt with the five senses and sometimes leads to a specific metaphysical understanding of the environment; for example, sometimes a frightening environment is perceived and sometimes a relaxing one. There is a hidden geometry in nature, some of whose mathematical laws and Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry have been identified today. Plato believes that geometry draws the soul towards truth; while art reveals lies. Idealist philosophers gave a kind of priority to the mind. Hegel is one of the philosophers who is considered an idealist and strongly believed in the role of the soul in a work of art. Hence, Hegel's thought is somehow related to the soul of the work and geometry. The present research mainly deals with the topic of Hegel's ideas about the history of art and the importance of the geometric method along with the dialectical method for the perception and recognition of phenomena. Hegel considers art to be the same as beauty; because it deals with the spirit. In his opinion, the object has negativity within itself; with the destruction of the object, desire reappears. Desire is the emergence of negativity; a topic that later in the twentieth century, Žižek and Lacan have used in detail.
