In these different ways temporary accidents of personal feeling and imagination enter into and determine our aesthetic intuition, making it deviate from the common standard.

This kind of error may even approximate in character to an hallucination of sense when there is nothing answering to a common source of aesthetic pleasure.

Thus, the fond mother, through the very force of her affection, will construct a beauty in her child, which for others is altogether non-existent.
What applies to the perception of beauty in the narrow sense will apply to all other modes of aesthetic intuition, as that of the sublime and the ludicrous, and the recognition of the opposite of beauty or the ugly.

In like manner, it will apply to moral intuition in so far as it is an instantaneous recognition of a certain quality in a perceived action based on, or at least conjoined with, a particular emotional effect.

In men's intuitive judgments respecting the right and the wrong, the noble and base, the admirable and contemptible, and so on, we may see the same kind of illusory universalizing of personal feeling as we have seen in their judgments respecting the beautiful.
