What is Kant's theory of aesthetics?
Kant's theory of aesthetics, primarily outlined in his 'Critique of Judgment,' proposes that aesthetic judgment is subjective but possesses a universal communicability. He argues that beauty is not a property of objects themselves but a subjective experience that arises from the harmonious interplay between the faculties of imagination and understanding. This theory indicates that aesthetic judgments, though subjective, have a certain universality because they are based on shared human cognitive structures.
