Science has criticized standardization and alienation of body beauty caused by consumerism with compulsive exercise, strict diets, among others. This essay discusses the dialectical perspective of natural beauty in Adorno, considering his critical conception of body beauty. The text is based on Adorno’s idea of natural beauty. Then, it dialogues with the social idea of contemporary body beauty. Finally, in the cultural universe, it signals possibilities of recognizing differences in contrast to human standardization. It considers each person’s natural beauty as a way of resisting the logic of an aesthetically managed society in objective and subjective terms.
