Summary
Jennifer Dobe argues that the experience of beauty begins in a feeling of pleasure that we perceive as both free and as arising from a shared human nature. Dobe thus contributes to the long-standing debate about what the principle of judgments of taste is. She argues that the principle, and thus the basis of these judgments, is our shared cognitive nature, according to which our imaginations are attuned to our understanding’s need for unity.
