The problematisation of taste means how the taste becomes a care in the society? And what kind of care it concerns? For the first time in the classic age (1650-1800), the taste became a topic of conversation in aristocratic society of France. The talkative theories about it reveal a complex problematic of ethico-politics and aesthetics. For the courtesans and honnêtes gens, it is in question of a substitution of the aesthetic subject for the moral subject. These social actors who are taste-makers change into a object of art, seen and be seen, judged and be judged. In the social life of aristocratic society where take place the scenes of the cultural competitions and ferocious struggle, the possession of taste involves both a will of existence and a symbolic violence.
