Summary
In the Critique of Judgment of 1790, Kant listed three separate higher faculties of the mind – the understanding, the (reflecting) power of judgment, and (practical) reason – and claimed that this list was now complete. The introduction of the newest member, the power of judgment, into the system is the topic of my study. Although the faculty has other important employments – in concept formation and teleology – it is supposedly in judgments of taste about beautiful objects that its operation finds its purest expression, “unmixed with any other faculty of cognition.”
