Subjectivity influences an individual when judging beauty in an object by projecting onto the object and categorising it as pleasure or displeasure. When a man labels something beautiful, he must regard it as on what he may also presuppose in every other person; and therefore, he must believe that he has a reason for demanding a similar delight from everyone (cp 64). Kant believes the requirement for calling an object universally beautiful is the elimination of subjectivity through reason. In doing so, objectivity will allow for a universal answer to why beauty is universally liked.
Kant’s judgements of taste focuses on outlining the difference between delight and beauty. Delight is the way which we connect with the representation of the real existence of the object (cp 58). Judging an object based on interest will never permit a universal understanding of beauty.

Kant emphasises the difference between sensation and feeling (that which must always remain purely subjective, and is absolutely incapable of forming a representation of an object) because both delight and feeling are subjective products of objective sensation (cp 60). In summary delight and pleasure are private judgements and is restricted to one’s
