Bring all senses together and experience them together (old). Kant says shared sensibility, appealing to a shared sensation which we are all having when experiencing beauty, so a common sense. Do share beauty, if we can get to the pure beauty. You have to purify your experiences to get to this pure sense. Beauty of flowers if you"re not a botanist, purposive w/o a purpose. Subjective: affective we but not limited to me, how a mind is affected by experiences. Kant thinks our minds are structured the same. The color isn"t as important as the structure.
