Under the influence of romanticism, beauty has been regarded as similar to illness. However, it seems that beauty has a confrontation with illness from a conceptual point of view. In Kant’s aesthetics, the beautiful is defined as a ‘sensus communis’ (common sense) by which it means a free unison and harmony. If we accept this definition, beauty must be analogized not to illness but health. Hence new notions of health and illness(disease in Canguilhem’s text) are required in order that the pains of poetic narrators may be taken as aesthetic. Generally speaking, health is a normal state, while disease is an abnormal state. But Canguilhem said disease remains a kind of biological norm and being healthy and being normal are not altogether equivalent. Accordingly, What characterize health is the possibility of transcending the norm, which defines the momentary normal and instituting new norms in new situations. In order to institute new norms, literature has to destroy the pathological normal in the world. The confession of pain is not an expression of pathological state, but that of scepticism about the health. The scepticism is a symptom of literary infection. From such an sceptical and painful state, subject creates new forms of sensitive intuition without conforming to the regular use of concepts. This process is called aesthetic therapy, the movement associated with the concept of beauty between illness and health. Recently many people have taken a deep interest in the literary therapy and the literary counseling. comprehension of dynamism of what beauty is, can offer a theoretical foundation of the study on them. It also makes us search for new possibilities in literary democracy in the world where pains are omnipresent.
