The Demand for Universal Beauty

Your taste in art isn't just an opinion, it is actually a demand for universal agreement.

Immanuel Kant figured this out way back in 1790. See, if you just enjoy

a donut or a comfortable chair, that is personal. He calls that agreeable because it satisfies

a physical need. But true beauty is different. When you call something beautiful,

you don't want to eat it or own it, you just stare at it. And deep down,

you expect every other human on earth to agree with you. You aren't sharing a feeling,

you are enforcing a universal law.
