In the case of a judgment about the beautiful object is considered attributes a certain beauty to the object as if it were a property that characterizes him. The form in which appear this judgment is possible the emergence a certain of universality of him to the extent that anyone can contemplate the beauty can distinguish it. But it is just aesthetic universality and not logic universality. In the form of this objects is noticeable a finality of nature as a condition a priori that enables knowledge on them. This possibility based on the reflection about the form of these objects is determined by the reflective use of the faculty of judgment.
