Sažetak
In the Western world one concept which has been linked to beauty is that of kalokagathia, an ideal that unites physical beauty and moral value. This notion was inherited from Antiquity and was modified during the Middle Ages, when more attention was paid to the fate of the soul, and further modified during the Renaissance, when concepts of beauty ond of moral responses, utility and good gradually became separated. A glance at an ancient notion such as kalokagathia has its value in trying to understand modern perceptions of beauty. The image od Apollo Belvedere is given as a visual reprsentation of kalokagathia.
