Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment, first published in 1790, was
the last of the great philosopher's three critiques, following on the
heels of Critique of Pure Reason (1781) and Critique of Practical
Reason (1788). In the first two, Kant dealt with metaphysics and
morality; in the third, Kant turns to the aesthetic dimension of human
experience, showing how our experiences of natural and artistic
beauty, the sublime magnitude and might of nature, and of purposive
organisms and ecological systems gives us palpable evidece that it is
possible for us not only to form moral intentions, but also to realize
our freely chosen moral goals within nature as we experience it. The
present volume collects twelve of the most important critical
discussions on the Critique of the Power of Judgment written by
leading Kant scholars and aestheticians from the United States and
Great Britain. In addition to a substantive introduction by the
editor, the book includes an extensive, annotated bibliography of the
most important work on Kant and on the background and arguments of his
third Critique published throughout the twentieth century.
