Produktbeschreibung

This book introduces readers to Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgment, widely accepted as the foundation of modern aesthetic theory.

Robert Wicks leads the reader through Kant's analysis and deduction of pure judgments of taste, and goes on to explore the themes of nature, fine art and morality found in the Critique. This is the ideal book for anyone coming to Kant's Critique of Judgment for the first time.

Rezensionen

'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 articulated by others of the integration of Kant's aesthetic theory with the rest of his philosophy.' - Donald W. Crawford, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
