This article employs a library-based methodology and an interdisciplinary approach to examine the relationship between Plato's and Baudelaire's views on aesthetic works. Plato's belief in "art as representation" has dominated Western thought for centuries. This theory subordinates beauty to truth and its representation. If, for Plato, truth is universal, constant, and eternal, then authentic beauty must also possess these characteristics. Baudelaire was the first thinker to rebel against this longstanding Platonic tradition, advocating instead for the fleeting and transient nature of beauty. The Baudelairean artist denies the Platonic divide between the eternal and the temporal, embracing precisely those elements Plato considered mere shadows and illusions.
From Baudelaire's perspective, contrary to Plato's view, beauty does not signify transcendence beyond the here and now. On the contrary, the beauty of anything lies in its "being present." Baudelaire replaces Plato's concept of "transcendence as surpassing and superiority" with "transcendence as immanence." In this sense, every tradition has its modernity, and the authentic artist is the one who discovers this modernity. Baudelaire opposes Plato’s theory of "art as representation" because the novel—that is, the unique and individual—cannot arise from representation. Baudelaire’s negative view of photography can also be traced to this opposition to representation. For Baudelaire, the Platonic relationship between philosophy and art is reversed, where philosophy itself assumes an aesthetic dimension.
