This paper discussed the shift from traditional aesthetics to everyday aesthetics in connection to Kant's common sense. After the boundary between art and life is demolished, art and everyday life were closely related to each other. There will be no more a boundary between art, non-art, anti-art and aesthetics, non-aesthetics, anti-aesthetics. Hence, the aesthetic will be only focused on the development of aesthetics of everydayness. And the aesthetic is perceived by our attitudes and experiences, and is permeated into our daily lives. I discussed the subject from the three aspects, everyday aesthetics as sympathy and communication, common sense as a presupposition of judgment of taste, common sense as a communicability of feeling.
Common sense is the ability for universal emotion rather than the individual emotion. Common sense is not the mere sense, but it is the idea of communal sense and the objective validity for the judgment of taste. It relies on the possibility of the universal delivery as well. Today's aesthetics is the aesthetics of the everyday. Common sense plays a role to make everyday keep its everydayness on behalf of sympathy and communication.
