Natural Beauty, Reflective Judgment and Kant’s Aesthetic Humanism
Kant’s concern for the universal validity of aesthetic judgment turns on its providing a needed bridge between our understanding of the world as governed by mechanical laws and our ability freely to realize our true humanity. That obliges us to find beauty in nature that is expressive of our ethical and moral values. It shapes the way we should understand aesthetic judgment itself
Beauty, Ugliness and the Free Play of Imagination
This volume in Springer’s Studies in German Idealism series proposes to find room within Kant’s aesthetic, and against leading interpretations, for correct judgments of taste that characterize things in nature and art as ugly. In addition, Mojca Küplen proposes to exploit her reading of Kant to account for our new-found readiness to find ugliness in art of positive aesthetic value. While she remains as faithful as possible to the text of The Crit…
A History of Modern Aesthetics (3 Volumes)
This huge work by Paul Guyer is the fruit of nearly ten years’ labour and a very welcome sequel and companion to Wladislaw Tatarkiewicz’s earlier three-volume History of Aesthetics, itself an encyclopaedic compilation of aesthetic thinking from the very beginning to the end of the seventeenth century. Now we have a comprehensive record of thought from the early eighteenth century to our own day, primarily of writing in Germany and Great Britain w…
Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Leibniz and the Monadology
Critical Notice: The Objective Eye
A FEW strict principles govern important aspects of the content of two-dimensional representations and relate a picture's surface and its depicted subject matter so as to fix that content objectively and independently of the mental states involved in our perceiving it. They primarily concern the shapes, colours, and relative sizes of the pictures' subjects. Understood and exploited by artists for centuries, these principles stand reprovingly at o…
Imagination and Aesthetic Value
One issue for theory is to account convincingly for the value of art and the significance of its specifically aesthetic character. Appeal to imagination, understood along Kantian lines as functioning to construct ‘a second nature from the material supplied by actual nature’, generates suggestive answers to both aspects of the task. The second nature that the artist inventively constructs in fine representation is one in which themes central to th…
Kant's Critique of Pure Reason: An Orientation to the Central Theme
This searching orientation to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason presents the central theme, the development of his Transcendental Idealism, as a response to perceived weaknesses in his predecessors' accounts of experiential knowledge. Anthony Savile offers lucid new readings of the central arguments in both the Transcendental Aesthetic and the Transcendental Analytic, making clear the fundamental systematic components of Kant's vision." "The book ap…
Spinoza, Medea, and Irrationality in Action
Nous écartons ici deux tentatives visant à rendre compte de l'irrationalité de l'action akratique au sein du système de Spinoza: celle contenue dans Spinoza mâme et une seconde toute récente, due à della Rocca, qui prétend parler au nom de Spinoza. Nous traçons à larges traits une troisième voie, laquelle n'st pas manifestement en porte-à-faux avec les principes de la psychologie morale de Spinoza. Cette tentative tourne autour d'une conception d…

Historicity and the Hermeneutic Circle
N RECENT YEARS the theory of art, and in particular the theory of literature, has moved away from an earlier inclination, rooted perhaps in the philosophy of Dilthey, to regard our understanding of works of art as historically freefloating and freely reinterpretable from age to age. Instead, it has been more eager to insist with Hegel1 and the elder Schlegel2 that the phenomenon of art cannot be understood except by situating its works in their o…
