From the examination of the Deduction of pure aesthetic judgments, followed by its articulation with interpretations on the specifically aesthetic function of the imagination, we present the hypothesis according to which the beautiful form can be understood as a product of imagination considered as “exemplary of rules”, according to the imaginative model proposed by Hanna Ginsborg. By doing so, we contemplate the possibilities and implications of admitting the capacity of imagination to produce normative representations. Accepting her model, we intend to take a step further than the author, showing how it is opportune to elucidate the notion of beautiful form.
