Kant said: "As long as a judgment about beauty is mixed with a very small sense of self-interest, it will be a preference rather than a pure appreciation judgment."

The literal understanding is this:

When judging beauty, it can and can only be judged from pure appreciation, and cannot be biased. The beauty of any sculpture is not the real beauty. The beauty.

In fact, this sentence expresses Kant’s understanding of beauty. Kant pursues aesthetic freedom or the aesthetics of freedom. He believes:

Beauty can only be reflected when there is no restraint, and beauty must be free. It embodies the natural characteristics of objects and people, conforms to the general rules of nature, is natural, does not show mountains, does not show water, does not add artificial carvings, and has an undercurrent of beauty like soft water under the tough appearance. Even in the most difficult times, you can remain content and remain true to yourself.
