De gustibus non est disputandum

De gustibus non est disputandum ( " About flavors (r ) can not argue with it " ) is a Latin phrase which, however, does not come from the ancient times. The French writer Jean Anthelme Brillat -Savarin, she led from the Spanish " Sobre los gustos no hay disputo " her. In the scholastic philosophy states: " De gustibus non est et coloribus disputandum. " ( " About the tastes and colors can not argue with it. " )

Mostly this statement is understood that no one can prove rationally that a particular sense of taste was the right one. In other words: In matters of taste there can be no "right " or "wrong "; they are beyond provability.
