Summary/Abstract: Aesthetics, described as the science of assimilation of reality, does not solely concern the beautiful. This study discourses on how it is possible for categories outside of the beautiful, particularly the ugly to exist, as well as examines the ontology of aesthetic phenomenon. The ugly or the judgement of ugliness is addressed in this study as a product of different perspectives in cinema as well as in other visual arts and the “Decadent” viewpoint is predominantly focused on across these perspectives. Decadent perspective describes a positioning point that has grown under the influence of philosophy of Nietzsche. This study discusses the relationship of decadents and the ugly.
