Infos

Kant''s Critique of Judgment seems not to be an obviously unified work. Unlike other attempts to comprehend it as a unity, which treat it as serving either practical or theoretical interests, Kristi Sweet''s book posits it as examining a genuinely independent sphere of human life. In her in-depth account of Kant''s Critical philosophical system, Sweet argues that the Critique addresses the question: for what may I hope? The answer is given in Kant''s account of ''territory,'' a region of experience that both underlies and mediates between freedom and nature. Territory forms the context in which purposiveness without a purpose, the Ideal of Beauty, the sensus communis, genius and aesthetic ideas, and Kant''s conception of life and proof of God are best interpreted. Encounters in this sphere are shown to refer us to a larger, more cosmic sense of a whole to which both freedom and nature belong.
