Kant's philosophy - The connection between the Beautiful, the Good and Freedom

For Kant the beautiful is the sensualization of the moral. The harmony in the beautiful form of a sensual object is like the harmony in the supersensual relation between moral beings. And in the contemplation of the beautiful the contemplator is free of sensual interests, just as the moral person is, and also lets his objects be free, like the moral person reveres the freedom of his fellow human beings.
