Summary/Abstract: The considerations concern the issue of the truthfulness of aesthetic judgments in the concept George Santayana, author of Sense of Beauty and Mind, among others in art. Although Santayana places experience at the center of her analysis aesthetic and explicitly opposed to the recognition that aesthetic judgments have characters upraindividual, the author of the chapter tries to show that this conceptit does not have to contradict the achievements of the 18th century aesthetic that proclaims truth fulness judgments of taste (Shaftesbury, Hume, Burke or Kant). Performance the American aesthetic's multiple understanding of beauty shows what the truth of the limitations of Kant's aesthetics, however, does not contradict her achievements. The distinction made by him in the beauty of matter, form and expression allows at the same time, notice the two fold sense of the truth of aesthetic judgments - on the one handpages pointing to their universality, on the other - referring to ideals reason, the sensual representation of which is available in works of art.
