Even before we have identified the specific interest of the faculty of judgment, a number of important consequences already follow from the interest-satisfaction view of the pleasure of taste. We can see how Kant can hold both that in a judgment of taste the judging of the object ‘precedes’ the pleasure (only in this way can such judgments be universally valid), and that the ‘determining ground’ of such judgments is pleasure (only in this way can the judgments be aesthetic). The theory also motivates a heuristic argument for the introduction of a new faculty, based on the assumption that the pleasure of taste makes a claim to universal validity, a feature that cannot be accounted for by the interests of the other faculties. While Kant rejected this assumption throughout the 1770s, he seems to have given up his resistance around 1784 in connection with developments in his moral philosophy.
