As if world was designed


Kant’s proposition was that a judgement of taste contains a ground of satisfaction for everyone and that it has universal properties that we all have in common. This universality presupposes that aesthetic judgement involves a claim that everyone should agree to one’s aesthetic judgement but actually there is no verifiable proof that they will. This demand is communicative. It shows as if world was designed, it is suitable, appropriate for the humankind – world is actually smiling at us through beauty.
