Immanuel Kant
- Comparison of the three specifically different kinds of delight
The agreeable, the beautiful, and the good thus denote three different relations of representation to the feeling of pleasure and displeasure, as a feeling in respect of which we distinguish different objects or modes of representation. Also, the corresponding expressions which indicate our satisfaction in them are different. The agreeable is what gratifies us; the beautiful is what simply pleases us; the good is what is esteemed.
