We can recognize beauty therefore, without creating a theory of the beautiful. Indeed, there is no such theory to create.

		<description><![CDATA[Taste is not the inner organisation of aesthetic perception but merely something which sharpens or dulls it. We can acknowledge that a canvas is a work of art without appreciating it personally. We can, and perhaps more commonly do, appreciate an artwork without giving it properly aesthetic acknowledgement.
