Description

The Critique of the Power of Judgment (a more accurate rendition of what has hitherto been translated as the Critique of Judgment) is the third of Kant's great critiques following the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Practical Reason. This translation of Kant's masterpiece follows the principles and high standards of all other volumes in The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant. This volume, first published in 2000, includes: the indispensable first draft of Kant's introduction to the work; an English edition notes to the many differences between the first (1790) and second (1793) editions of the work; and relevant passages in Kant's anthropology lectures where he elaborated on his aesthetic views. All in all this edition offers the serious student of Kant a dramatically richer, more complete and more accurate translation.… (more)

Med "Kritikk av dømmekraften" avslutter Kant (1724-1804) sitt kritiske prosjekt. Den tredje kritikken danner et bindeledd mellom hans erkjennelseslære og moralfilosofi, og tar for seg dømmekraftens bruk i kunst og vitenskap. I de to første kritikkene trakk han opp fornuftens formale grenser.

Den tredje kritikken danner et bindeledd mellom hans erkjennelseslære og moralfilosofi, og tar for seg dømmekraftens bruk i kunst og vitenskap. I de to første kritikkene trakk han opp fornuftens formale grenser. Det er verkets første del, "Kritikk av den estetiske dømmekraft", som er oversatt her. Der fremsetter Kant sin estetikk.

In college, I was taught as an undergraduate, that Kant united the European Continental and British philosopher and the streams of rationalism and empiricism with their future directions, where in the spirit of Ogden Nash, "If you convinced me and I convinced you, would there not then still be two

points of view?" - both traditions changed profoundly, so one could see lines crossing IN Kant's analytical thinking.

Perhaps one element of good philosophy should be that the argument be at least moderately straightforward. Maybe Kant is just deep, but I perceive a lot of leaps to conclusions based on a huge amount of new, creative concepts as the springboard. I have not studied enough of this to be definite, but

my suspicion is that Kant is considered a great philosopher by a brand of intellectuals that can use such indeterminate fluff to justify their views about how philosophy leads to current sociological and political trends. For example: "Skill can hardly be developed in the human race otherwise than by means of inequality among men." I rate this a 4 only because it holds such an esteemed spot in the development of modern philosophy, but it's not the type of argument that convinces me.

Not as great as its "older brother" the First Critique (the Critique of Pure Reason), but an interesting book nonetheless and one which presents the strongest imaginable rebuttal to the idea that "good taste is subjective".
