Introduction
The issue of the nature of beauty is a focal point in the philosophical inquiry into aesthetics. For some time, it has attracted the attention of aestheticians whose answer has remained largely unconvincing, either because of its idealistic assumption or due largely to its transcendental presupposition. Because of the scientific mode of cognition, historic view and dialectical methodology, the early fathers of Marxism have shown the proper way by which a realistic aesthetic appreciation can be sought. But due to the fragmenting nature of their writings, the principles in aesthetics were not really systematic. Therefore, there is need for further inquiry in this regard.
