Hutchison's Prejudice

Hutchison talks a lot about association, the ways in which association can create pleasure. It's not like the object itself is pleasing us because it's beautiful. It's associated with something else that's pleasurable to us. So this is actually the kind of thing he's warning against. And hutcheson definitely is warning us against the prejudice that arises from associations. By the time we get to kant, he's really cut to the chase of just form. Form is what's beautiful,. Everything else is association, is something lesser, is something interested. Whereas, you know, i don't think that as clear in all these folks.
