Abstract Though the notion of common-sense (Gemeinsinn) plays an important role in Kant’s aesthetic theory, it is not immediately clear what Kant means by this term. This essay works to clarify the role that common-sense plays in the logic of Kant’s argument. My interpretive hypothesis is that a careful examination of the way common-sense functions in Kant’s account of judgments of taste can help explain what this notion means. I argue that common-sense names the capacity to discern the relation between the cognitive faculties by means of a feeling, and I conclude that this understanding of common-sense lays the groundwork for an account of the unity of judgments of taste. I conclude that attending to Kant’s notion of common-sense is especially important because it highlights the anthropological significance of Kant’s account of beauty.

康德论常识与品味判断的统一

摘要虽然常识（Gemeinsinn）概念在康德的美学理论中起着重要作用，但尚不清楚康德用这个术语的含义。本文旨在阐明常识在康德论证逻辑中的作用。我的解释性假设是，仔细研究康德关于品味判断的常识性功能方式可以帮助解释该概念的含义。我认为常识是指通过一种感觉来辨别认知能力之间关系的能力，并且我得出结论，这种对常识的理解为品味判断的统一奠定了基础。我的结论是，遵守康德的常识概念尤为重要，因为它突出了康德对美的阐释的人类学意义。
