Kant, Critique Of The Power Of Judgement

 

            
            
             The main summarization of the Second Moment is that the beautiful, is that which is without a concept and is the object of universal satisfaction. Kant begins that since the judgement of beauty is without interest by the person making the judgement, he feels himself completely free with regard to the satisfaction he devotes to the object, so therefore satisfaction is grounded as presupposed in everyone else. .
             In comparing the beautiful with the agreeable, only with regard to the agreeable can the principle >Everyone has his own= taste (of the senses) be valid. However, if something is pronounced beautiful, than the judger expects or rather demands the same satisfaction of others; he judges not merely for himself, but for everyone, and speaks of beauty as if it were a property of things. With beauty, it cannot be said that Aeveryone has his special taste,@ for then there is no taste at all. .
             On the other hand, with regard to the good, judgements lay claim to validity for everyone; but this universal satisfaction is only through a concept, which is not the case with the agreeable or with the beautiful. The taste of the senses- makes merely private judgements, the taste of reflection- makes generally valid judgments, and both make aesthetic judgments of objects regarding the relation of its representation to the feeling of pleasure or displeasure. A universality that does not rest on concepts of objects is not logical but aesthetic, and has a judgement of common validity.
             .
             In regard to logical quantity, all judgments of taste are singular judgments. A judgment of taste, such that Athe rose is beautiful,@ can become an aesthetically grounded logical judgement when the rose is compared to others and the judgement becomes Aroses in general are beautiful.@ If one judges objects merely in accordance with concepts, then all representation of beauty is lost. So there can be no rule in acknowledging beauty.
