It was said that Plato has once made the remark that “Eyes are the windows to the soul.”

Whether this is correct or not, Plato and quite a few Ancient Greek philosophers do believe that the soul perceives the truth through the eyes and that our eyes can help us to recognize beauty in others.

Plato has also described the soul as an immortal, immaterial, and rational entity that is the source of life and knowledge and is not constrained by the limitations of our body.

And he has made the remark that “The soul takes flight to the world that is invisible but there arriving she is sure of bliss and forever dwells in paradise..”

Whether this is true or not, we take it as self-evident that appreciation of the visuals is an ability and aptitude that is worth cultivating for the Humanities.
