	abstract = {This study attempts to clarify the importance and function of mathematical statistics and mathematical thinking in early formation of modern aesthetics of the eighteenth century. I focus on three historical concepts of using the statistical and mathematical approach to beauty and aesthetic (taste) standard. The first one is Hume{\textquoteright}s searching for taste standards based on his sensualism and his exceeding the individual subjective experience by statistical standardization of inter-subjective experience. Peculiar to this approach is an ambivalent understanding of the standard as a {\textquotedblleft}mean{\textquotedblright} on one side and {\textquotedblleft}excellence{\textquotedblright} on the other. The second model of aesthetic thinking is Reid{\textquoteright}s aesthetic realism. The analysis of Reid{\textquoteright}s works serves to show the roots of modern aesthetic cognitivism and the significance of scientific study of beautiful objects{\textquoteright} parameters. An important part of these considerations is the examination of ontological status of beauty and the term of {\textquotedblleft}excellence{\textquotedblright} as {\textquotedblleft}perfectness{\textquotedblright}. In conclusion, I try to highlight the mathematical and statistical algorithms of Kant{\textquoteright}s creating aesthetic standards and aesthetic ideal in his <em>Critique of Judgment</em>. I also show the potentials of the above mentioned approaches as far as the contemporary cognitive research in aesthetics is concerned.},
