In the early stages when Whitehead was creating his philosophy on organicism, it was noted that aesthetic intuition was influenced by the natural understanding of English poetic literature. Sensation and feeling s are structured b y enjoyment of natural beauty, as importantelements of actual entity. In the later stages of his thinking, the concept of natural beauty was held to two concepts, one being God and the other being the tru th. T hrough this process, the concept of artistic beauty was created. Art is perfected by truthful beauty, and this is the characteristic that evolved through the way Whitehead viewed art. When you consider the relationship of natural beauty and artistic b eauty, the thoughts of Immanuel Kant are often referred to W hitehead considers there are three social roles of art that play a role in society. These three roles are, firstly, that art and literature stimulate imagination and lead to reformation of social consciousness. T he second role is that art has a curative function for the mind. The final role is that art plays a role in the further development of civilization. Whitehead explains that there are five components that civilizes society, “Truth”, “Beauty” Beauty”, “Adventure”, “Art”, “Beauty”, and “Peace”. He thinks that the result of art developing, the sense of peace is achieved by Youth and tragic Beauty as the Final Fact. In current times, in the current social system, we face the problem of trying to develop our own scope of enjoyment .
