Aristotle tied beauty to areté, a Greek word for excellence or virtue. Something is beautiful not just because of how it looks, but because it performs its function excellently. A beautiful sword is one that cuts well and feels right in the hand. A beautiful life is one lived with purpose and virtue.
In this view, beauty is inseparable from mastery. The more something embodies its ideal, the more beautiful it becomes.
