 As they do not depend on concepts, and essentially include a subjective element of pleasure, judgments of taste are non-cognitive, and cannot therefore aspire to the same general validity as, say, mathematical proofs. However, judgments of taste are universal. When one judges an object to be beautiful, one is also at the same time asserting that anyone ought to find it beautiful (Kant 1790: §6–7). This again stands in contrast with the agreeable. When I judge the taste of calvados to be pleasant, I am not requiring general assent; in contrast, the pleasure associated with a work of music is one I expect anyone to feel—it is a beautiful piece of music.
