"[T]heir disagreement amounts to rightly shouting at each other, even if they do it politely: 'you ought to feel the way I feel.  You ought to agree with me.'  To say that people rightly claim universal approval for their aesthetic judgments when all it takes is one exception to prove them wrong is to say that this call on all others' capacity for agreeing by dint of feeling is legitimate.  This is what Kant understood better than anyone before or anyone since."

(Thierry de Duve)
