How do our individual experiences and perceptions shape our understanding of the world, and
how might AI challenge or broaden that understanding?
Our individual experiences and perceptions influence how we interpret and
understand the world around us. AI can challenge our understanding by offering
diverse perspectives and processing vast data, broadening our horizons and prompting
us to reconsider preconceptions.

Hume’s Aesthetics
David Hume was an 18th-century philosopher from Scotland. In "Of the Standard of Taste," he explored
the challenge of determining artistic value. Hume acknowledged that individual preferences in art are
subjective and can vary greatly. He posed the question: if taste is entirely personal, how can one artwork
be deemed better than another?

5.
How do our personal experiences and backgrounds influence our perception of what is
considered "good" art?
Our life experiences affect what we think is "good" art. Different cultures and
emotions make art preferences unique, showing that art's beauty is subjective and
personal.
True Judges
To address this, Hume introduced the idea of "true judges" in art. He believed that while everyone has
opinions, some individuals, due to their extensive exposure and understanding of art, can offer more
informed judgments. These experts have a "delicacy of taste" and can perceive subtleties in art that
others might overlook. They are knowledgeable, unbiased, and can draw comparisons between
artworks.
6.
What qualities do you believe make someone a "true judge" in art, and can these qualities be
learned or are they innate?
Being a "true judge" in art involves understanding techniques, history, and emotions.
These qualities can be learned through education and practice, although innate
sensitivity to art often enhances judgment.
For Hume, if there is consensus among these true judges, their collective opinion can serve as a
benchmark for artistic value. In this way, he bridged the gap between personal preferences and a more
objective standard in art appreciation.
7.
How much weight should we give to the consensus of experts in forming our own opinions
about art?
Experts can help, but trust your feelings about art. Your emotions matter most. Don't
be afraid to have your own opinion; it's what makes art special for you.
Quotes
“The same Homer who pleased at Athens and Rome two thousand years ago, is still admired at Paris and
London. All the changes of climate, government, religion, and language, have not been able to obscure
his glory.”
Context: Here, Hume is pointing out that despite vast differences in cultures, times, and places, certain
works of art (in this case, the writings of Homer) remain consistently admired. This suggests that while
individual preferences may be influenced by personal backgrounds, there are some elements of art that
transcend these individual experiences.

What universal themes or qualities allow a work to maintain its appeal across different times and
cultures?
