Aesthetics is the process by means of which people judge about the beauty, shapes the culture within which people state themselves creatively. There were a lot of works of famous philosophers which developed the problem of aesthetics and people's attitude to culture. For example, Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgment, Friedrich Schiller's On the Aesthetic Education of Man and Edward Tylor's Primitive Culture. These writers worked out the origins of aesthetic and its connection with society and politics.

Culture and aesthetic process make the social whole and it takes the organization of the state. When these works were creating, some nations like France and Germany were trying to make out themselves as a whole. Such historical events as French Revolution influenced many philosophers greatly. Their views differ from each other, but they developed almost the same ideas. All the philosophers, who discussed the problem of aesthetics, investigated the problem of subjectivity as it is related to the attitude of beauty and the formation of culture and politics in the general public. All of them had different opinions on this topic and were arguing whether to accept the general opinion or not.

Taylor states that aesthetics as well as other human actions and politics develop according to certain laws and subjectivity has little influence upon these laws. The subjectivity of Schiller, in the type of the sensuous drive, plays very important role in studying the aesthetic process. Together with the work of Kant, his work was very important contribution in the studying of aesthetic process. The subject, while using its common sense, must make the judgment of individuals about the beauty before the person tries to represent this beauty. The completeness between the individual representation and the representation of beauty by society is the end of the aesthetic process, according to Kant.
