Le beau ou la beauté est une notion abstraite liée à de nombreux aspects de l'existence humaine.	What is beautiful or beauty is an abstract concept associated with many aspects of human existence.
Ce concept est étudié principalement par la discipline philosophique de l'esthétique, mais il est également abordé en partie par d'autres domaines (histoire, sociologie, psychologie, art).	This concept is studied mainly by the philosophical discipline called Aesthetics, but it is also approached in part by other domains (such as History, Sociology, Psychology or Art).
Le beau est communément défini comme la caractéristique d'une chose qui au travers d'une expérience sensorielle (perception) ou intellectuelle procure une sensation de plaisir ou un sentiment de satisfaction ; en ce sens, la beauté provient par exemple de manifestations telles que la forme, l'aspect visuel, le mouvement, le son.	What is beautiful is commonly defined as the characteristic of something which, through some sensorial experience (perception) or mental experience, procures a sensation of pleasure or a feeling of satisfaction. In that sense, beauty arises from aspects including, for example, shape, visual appearance, movement and or sound.
La distinction entre ce qui est beau et ce qui ne l'est pas varie suivant les époques et les individus.	Distinguishing what is beautiful from what is not can vary according to historical periods and individuals.
Ce que l'on entend même par sentiment du beau diffère selon les penseurs et bien des cultures n'ont pas de mot qui corresponde exactement au beau du français actuel.
