This article addresses Hume’s attempt to conciliate the acknowledgement of diversity in aesthetic judgements with the existence of universal principles of taste. The exegesis of his proposal of a standard of taste will be developed reviewing the previous contributions principally made by Locke, Shaftesbury, Addison and Hutcheson. Additionally, its impact on the later aesthetics will be evaluated, specially on Kant’s Critique of Judgement.
