Kant pointed out aesthetic pleasure was a unique pleasure. Firstly, thisuniqueness is shown by the differences between the comfortable pleasureand the pleasure of good. Aesthetic pleasure is determined by the objectform, which is not concerned about or related. When the form meets theaim of the subject, it will stay in a free status. It means in aestheticactivities, the object conforms to the subjective purpose, which is free.Aesthetic pleasure system is between the happiness and sadness,imagination and intellectuality. In this freedom, the imagination wakes upcomprehension. The essence of aesthetic pleasure is the sense of freedom.As a hypothesis, aesthetic common sense is the innate basis of freedom,which promises and guarantees freedom. Only with this, can emotion becommunicated. Otherwise, people are separated and limited which couldmake them feel no freedom. This sense is the foundation of aesthetictranscendence. It may eliminate the limited, realistic utilitarian utility, soas to realize the aesthetic transcendence.
