The concept of Disinterestedness is one of the fundamental concepts in aesthetic experience which comes to mind in the name of Kant. Kant examined it at the first moment of his First Critique. Indeed, disinterested experience or in other words, Disinterestedness is a unique character of aesthetic experience that makes it distinct from other experiences. Reviewing the thoughts of philosophers before Kant, it can be seen that this concept was even raised before Kant, but it has received little attention, then. In this regard, the following article is based on verifying the issue that how exactly the concept of Disinterestedness is, and in what context it is discussed based on the thoughts of philosophers before Kant and what changes it have been undergone.

Since Hume believes that beauty is pleasurable sentiment, he can not refer to the certain objective qualities for resolving aesthetical disputes. Hence, he introduces the common judgment of judges as the standard of the taste. Hume himself accept that in spite of efficiency of this standard, tow factors, namely different humors and different particular manners, lead to a kind of constricted relativism in the aesthetic judgment. A precise investigation will show that this standard can be successful in the simple and none-comparative situations. However, in the case of comparative judgments - when we speak about preferences of an artist in comparison to the other's ones - this standard can not be efficacious. If beauty is pleasurable sentiment, everybody accredit his sentiment and would not accept other's sentiment.

In philosophy of religion, the most important issue in the eternity of soul deals with the study and analysis of arguments for and against the substantiality of soul, eternity, and immortality. A group of philosophers tried to formulate the reasons and evidence for eternity through the substantiality of soul. Another group tried to reject the destructibility of soul by proving the abstractness of soul. While briefly introducing the basic concepts, this article attempts to focus on the theories that criticize the eternity of soul, as well as investigating the reasons against immortality; then these reasons are described, criticized and finally rejected. Hume, Russell, and Antony Felw are the three philosophers whose thoughts on "the reasons and evidence against the eternity of soul" have been studied, criticized, and rejected here. Hume provides three groups of reasons against the eternity of soul that are entirely welcomed and attended by Felw. Some of these arguments merely analyze and discuss the verification of the substance of soul, some of them reject the indestructibility and abstractness of the soul, and the third group criticize eternity and persistence. The author of this work has categorized the subject upon the typology of the reasons against eternity in three groups, and analyzes them from a critical perspective.
