He carefully draws distinctions between aesthetic judgments and focuses the first half of the Not even beauty is safe from Kant’s demand for universal truth. And Kant outdoes himself,My encounter with the last Kant's Critique was rather casual. Published The book is broken into two main parts - a critique of aesthetic judgement and a critique of teleological judgement. Beauty & Purpose are in the eyes of the beholder, but they are also universal.This contains some potentially radical ideas regarding the nature of subjectivity and beauty.I enjoy reeding. Fucking awesome, even though the process initially was like hitting your head repeatedly with a brick. Whist I have to admit I had to read this for study, I'm phenomenally glad that I did. The book is broken into two main parts - a critique of aesthetic judgement and a critique of teleological judgement. How do you rate something you were just barely able to understand? Like Critique of Pure Reason Kant comes prepared to give aesthetics the same kind of workout he is famous for.

In Critique of Judgement Kant explores in depth art and taste.
Here he clears the ground for teleological thinking as a whole. In this work, I must give him one more credit - ability to incorporate something so intractable as beauty, taste and teleology in nature to his system. Kant argues that our minds are inclined to see purpose and order in nature and this is the main principle underlying all of our judgments.
Ironically I felt that this really made this a truly profound book. [Utilitarianism has nothing to do with having the right intentions.] It is an important book nonetheless so I have to give credit where due at the very least.I'm not entirely honest for giving it 4 full stars – since, believe me, the teleological ramblings were even quite irksome with their persistent repetitions – but since the first half of the book gave me a lot of material to ponder upon, I'm willing to wink at Kant's cant and give the Immaculate Immanuel the cachet he deserves.I'm not entirely honest for giving it 4 full stars – since, believe me, the teleological ramblings were even quite irksome with their persistent repetitions – but since the first half of the book gave me a lot of material to ponder upon, I'm willing to wink at Kant's cant and give the Immaculate Immanuel the cachet he deserves.I haven't read the entire book (only selections for a class), but I had a lot of trouble with the translation, so I read it in parallel with the Guyer-Matthews translation from CUP.

Such considerations are beyond reason and are solely the province of faith.I've previously reviewed both The Critique of Pure Reason and The Critique of Practical Reason, describing some of the reasons why the reading of the three critiques led to what might be called a conversion experience--or perhaps an intellectual mystical or jnana experience.I've previously reviewed both The Critique of Pure Reason and The Critique of Practical Reason, describing some of the reasons why the reading of the three critiques led to what might be called a conversion experience--or perhaps an intellectual mystical or jnana experience.This is probably my favorite of Kant's three critiques (Pure and Practical Reason being the other two). However, when it comes to reading Kant, saying "favorite" is not quite right: he was such a bad writer, and such a brilliant thinker, its hard to deal with some times. Should I give it 3 stars because I honestly found it annoyingly repetitious at times?Read only some excerpts of the book for my class, and even I reserve judgment, lol. It is typical Kant - precise, pedantic, with insurmountable half page long sentences, but also with unbeatable ability to grasp roots of philosophical problems.
