These issues concern the constitution of taste or aesthetic judgment based on the experience that combines sensitivity and intellect. The "mental taste", however, begun to be discussed in the field of morality, and relates closely to the epistemology of early empiricism. The purpose of this article is to recover elements of this discussion in order to foster a recovery of the meaning of aesthetics as perception.porAcesso AbertoGostoPercepçãoSentidos internosDesinteressePerceptionInner sensesDisinterestednessTasteArtigo
