One of the main features of Kant's aesthetics is his claim that judgments of taste are distinguished from cognitive judgments and beauty is independent from the objective cognition of an object. If we focus only on this feature, we can have the impression that a judgment of taste has nothing to do with elements of cognition or cognitive values. However, we encounter passages and claims in his aesthetics which are opposite to that impression. For example, his aesthetics shows that a judgment of taste is not entirely unrelated to cognition or cognitive activities, but is explained through relations to cognition. Furthermore, these relations are a necessary condition for justification of universality and necessity of a judgment of taste. In this paper, I will present an interpretation that doesn't damage his so-called aesthetics of autonomy and at the same time reveals correlations between his aesthetics and cognition. Kant maintains that a judgment of taste doesn't bring about or aim at cognition, but he doesn't exclude the possibility that experiences of cognition or of cognitive values are involved in experience of beauty and art. His aesthetics entails relations to cognition and they show themselves in such central concepts as “harmony of the cognitive faculties", "adherent beauty", and "aesthetic ideas". In the following chapters, I will explicate and discuss the three concepts in order so as to make clear how closely and in what way Kant's aesthetics is related to cognition. In conclusion, I will claim that Kant's aesthetics remain aesthetics of autonomy although it includes relations to cognition in various ways.
