This article argues that aesthetics needs to include a theory of the aesthetic properties of persons, which should be an important theme in the study of everyday aesthetics. Traditionally, aesthetic theorists have assumed that aesthetic properties can be predicated of artworks and natural things. This article argues that persons, not merely their bodies, have aesthetic properties and that aesthetic properties of persons require a different ontological analysis. Some examples of aesthetic properties are glamour, grace of manner, magnetism, charm, and wit. These are not properties of the person as body, but rather they are properties of an embodied person who inhabits a sociological space and a polis.
