Of the Standard of Taste by David Hume

David Hume's article "Taste Standards" is one of the most respected works of so-called aesthetics. He is known for other works such as "humanity", "exploring human understanding", "exploring moral principles", but they all have limited nature of the role in human life is showing. This subjective viewpoint also appears in "standard of taste". Aesthetic judgment is based on personal feelings rather than personal reasons.

In the prospect of David Hume's prose, the Qur'an is described as "absurd appearance" of "pretending prophets" and lacks "fair morality". He said that he participated in the story, "We quickly discover that such treachery, inhumanity, cruelty, revenge, prejudice, etc. are not fully compatible with civil society and are admired As long as it is good or harmful for a true believer, pay attention to every action that is condemned or admired. "

David Hume's article "Taste Standards" solves the problem of how to determine objects. Hume solved three hypotheses on how to determine the aesthetic value. These assumptions are as follows. All preferences are equal, one art is better than the other art, the aesthetic value of art is defined by human preference (from the lecture). However, Hume discovered that these three beliefs are hypothetical "contradictory triples" (from the lecture). If all the tastes are the same, and the taste determines the aesthetic value, some art is good, what is wrong?

The paper on the famous "taste standard" by David Hume suggests and discusses epistemological problems raised by subjectivity in aesthetics. If beauty is our idea and not a feature unrelated to our purpose, how do we understand the possibilities of correctness and inaccuracy in this field? This problem is more obvious to Hume as he is strengthening Hutchison's subjectivity. "Happiness and pain ... not only the waiters necessary for beauty and malformation, but also their essence" ("Thesis", Part 2, Part 1, Part 8). But, if you are expressing whether taste judgment is based on subjective feelings, how is it likely to be wrong?
