Critique of Judgement

"Something is beautiful if it gives pleasure without interest," says Kant in his Critique of Judgement (1790).

Are we interested? Not if we believe that beauty -- the perception of beauty -- is in the eye of the beholder.

So many of the world's problems begin and end with objective notions of anything, let alone beauty.

I am interested in what Marxists have to say about "objective material conditions" existing independent of our consciousness.
