Disinterested(a key quality of aesthetic judgment according to Kant): In philosophy, this means judging something without any personal stake or self-interest in the outcome. When you find something beautiful, you're not thinking 'what's in it for me?'—you're just appreciating it for its own sake.
Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
