First Sentence
In order to distinguish whether anything is beautiful or not, we refer the representation, not by the understanding to the object for cognition, but by the imagination (perhaps in conjunction with the understanding) to the subject and its feeling of pleasure or pain. Read the first page

Someday we will understand this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Critique of Judgment (Great Books in Philosophy) (Paperback)
The Critique of the Power of Judgment (the 3rd Critique) is the most important work in Modern philosophical aesthetics. The Guyer and Pluhar editions are to be preferred to that of Bernard, as the first two have more extenisve notes, and better translations, including of the First Introduction.The 3rd Critique presents a vision of beauty, sublimity, and art that avoids reduction of them to them to the biological, a la Nietzsche or Freud. Instead, Kant describes the *justification* of reflective aesthetic judgments in terms of the conditions for using jugment, stressing the contemplative and harmonious character of the experience of beauty. Beauty is linked to cognitive and moral betterment; sublimity, a secondary subject, is discussed more purely in terms of it connection with morality. The work is difficult; however, there is no substitute for close reading of the whole work. (Certainly not Schiller, who goes far beyond Kant in claiming beauty and art as foundational for knowledge). The 3rd Critique is still very contemporary in its import, including its theory of disinterestedness, which is compatible with intelligent accounts of affect.

Got aesthetics?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Critique of Judgment : Containing Kant's Critique of Aesthetic Judgement and Critique of Teleological Judgement (Paperback)
This is the root of modern (is there any other?) aesthetic. Kant's third critique completes the circle of the trascendental philosphy; perhaps this is the most impotant book of the Königsberg philosopher beacuse it draws a bridge between pure and practical reason.

One of the toughest reads for layman or intellectual,
By Eduardo Navas(nomad@ix.netcom.com) (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critique of Judgement (Paperback)
Kant is by far one of the hardest philosophers to understand. Perhaps the toughest part is that Kant ruminates for several pages on the same subject. If the reader lets go and takes the reading with a trance-like state, then the reading is not so hard to understand. Another suggestion: read the first part of the sentence and skip all the commas, and read the very last part of the sentence; then go back and read the whole sentence including all the phrases in between the main clause. This will open up the eyes to understanding all the tangents Kant tends to take. A must must must read for those who want to understand the philosophical development of "man and nature" and its progressive development to our post-structural times. Enjoy the pleasure ... or pain of reading this wonderful book.
