what is the difference between Aesthetics & Taste
Aesthetics is the philosophical notion of beauty.
Taste is a result
of
education
and
awareness
of
elite
cultural
values;
therefore
taste can be learned.
Taste varies according to class, cultural background, and education.
According to Kant, beauty is objective and universal; thus certain things are
beautiful to everyone.
The contemporary view of beauty is not based on innate qualities, but rather
on cultural
specifics
and
individual
interpretations.

Aesthetic judgment
According to Alexander Baumgarten, we all make "aesthetic judgment," as
we
see
certain
artworks
as
superior
o
others.
"Reason applied to art will give us truly aesthetic understanding."
Critique of
judgment
According to Kant, there is no scientific rule for determining what beauty is.
The perception of beauty‐that is, "the judgment" of beauty‐involves the eye,
the mind,
and
the
perception
of
the
beholder
(imagination
and
understanding)
