Kant was one of the philosophers who discussed the problem of aesthetics. His famous work is “Critique of Judgment”. In this work he the aesthetic process requires the person to be far from politics. It is impossible to judge the beauty if one is influenced by the politics. The judge must reproduce and reflect the object of the judgment, which demands subjectivity and personal estimation. Stating this fact, Kant pays much attention to the significance of subjectivity in devising the judgment of beauty. He states that the thing can not be accepted as beautiful only by one person if it is not considered so by the others. In this version, one as a subjective personality and one as social being interact, making the completeness of culture.

This aesthetic common feature between the society and individual means that people have to possess the subjective principle, based on their feelings rather than concepts. He wanted to say that people should have their personal judgment of beauty, based on their tastes, but not on generally accepted principles. Such principle could not be observed as common sense. The subject, while using its common sense, must make the judgment of individuals about the beauty before the person tries to represent this beauty. The completeness between the individual representation and the representation of beauty by society is the end of the aesthetic process, according to Kant.

Kant states that this process can not involve every aspect of life, so politics and judgments should be taken separately. Tastes do not depend upon politics or cognition and person should use the cognition in order to characterize her representation of beauty. According to Kant, culture influences a subjective sense of judgment from within the person, not enforced by any institutions. By means of aesthetic culture a person have an opportunity to realize her own subjectivity in harmony and relation with a society.

Theoretical Priciples of De-aestheticized Art
By: Dali | 17/11/2007 | Visual Art
Sharing a dream with Joseph Beuys about a system that transforms social organism into a work of art, I have one exception. The idea of transformation performed not only on a social platform but primarily on a platform of reality perception itself. The artist of so-called “pure perception” discovers and realizes the aesthetics of objects on the conceptual level. Then we need to resolve the issue with its representation.
