[color=#0033CC]A presentation of the object appreciated; in the very presentation, the relation between the cognitive/representational powers, namely, imagination and understanding, is determined in certain fashion that allows for on the one hand our awareness of the object as one in space and time as well as in experience, on the other our awareness of its being beautiful, namely our awareness of our appreciating the object. In this sense, Kant writes "in sofar as they are determined by a presentation." It is at one time not only a presentation of the object appreciated, but also a presentation of beauty.[/color]
