In this thesis, we will be concerned with Kant's philosophy of beauty and with a particular area of interest which is of great importance to any practical theory of aesthetics: dispute. If one judges something to be beautiful - if one makes a judgment of taste, and we seek to persuade others to our conviction, then how can we go about doing this? We shall discover that Kant's theory provides an interesting account of how disputes over taste can take place: an account which is informative for the way in which we conduct aesthetics today.
