About this audiobook
The Critique of Judgment: Theory of the Aesthetic Judgment and Theory of the Teleological Judgment completes Kant's critical philosophy by mediating between nature and freedom, understanding and reason. In its first part, Kant analyzes judgments of beauty and sublimity, grounding aesthetic experience in "disinterested" pleasure and the free play of imagination and understanding. In its second, he examines teleology, especially the appearance of purposiveness in organisms, without collapsing scientific explanation into theology. Dense, architectonic, and exacting, the work stands at the threshold of modern aesthetics, Romanticism, and philosophy of biology. Immanuel Kant (1724–1804), the central figure of German Enlightenment philosophy, wrote this book after the Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Practical Reason had established the limits of knowledge and the autonomy of moral law. His lifelong concern with judgment, rationality, and human finitude culminates here in an inquiry into how reflective judgment finds order where no determinate concept is given. This volume is indispensable for readers seeking to understand modern theories of art, taste, genius, nature, and purposiveness. Though demanding, it rewards patient study with a profound account of how human beings inhabit a world that is at once lawful, meaningful, and never fully mastered by concepts.
