Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to
Kant on Judgment
“This is a superb treatment of Kant’s third Critique in its entirety – in
depth, in careful analysis, and in understanding in a way not articu-
lated by others of the integration of Kant’s aesthetic theory with the
rest of his philosophy.”
Donald W. Crawford, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of
California, Santa Barbara
Kant’s Critique of Judgment is one of the most important texts in the his-
tory of modern aesthetics. This GuideBook discusses the third Critique
section by section, and introduces and assesses:
• Kant’s life and the background of the Critique of Judgment
• The ideas and text of the Critique of Judgment, including a critical
explanation of Kant’s theories of natural beauty
• The continuing relevance of Kant’s work to contemporary philosophy
and aesthetics.
This GuideBook is an accessible introduction to a notoriously difficult
work and will be essential reading for students of Kant and aesthetics.
