What makes knowledge universal? How can we know we are not passing a judgment instead of a provable idea?

I understand this question is open for the public to answer, but I do really appreciate if it is answered philosophically, otherwise I would have posted it in other categories like relationships etc.

Thanks Don H, for your good effort. let me rephrase the question, what is one characteristic of one's mind which would be the same as other human being , which enables each and every mind to bring ideas together into general ideas, and can act as if these generalizations were true? if we act act on these ideas, we are dealing with judgments and not provable ideas.

According to KANT , an irrepressible striving for absolute knowledge is inherent in reason.Under the pressure of this striving , man's reason seeks to solve the problem of the finity or infinity of the world in time and space , the possibility of the existence of indivisible elements of the world , the nature of the processes taking place in the world , and of God as the absolutely essentisl being .

The Judgment of Taste; beautiful topic.

Well, lemme put it this way: It doesn't matter how much I tell you about the taste of a steak, you'll never really know until you taste it!0!
