Course/Module description:
During the course we will analyze the basic concepts of the Critique of Judgment, such as Nature and Freedom, theoretical and practical ways of thinking, determinate and reflexive judgments, aesthetics and teleology, subjective and objective meaning of the principle of Nature’s purposiveness, the symbolic presentation of the aesthetic Idea and the organism, et cetera. We will clarify the systematic place of the third Critique in the whole of the critical project and try to explain why according to Kant it is aesthetics and not teleology should function as a bridge between two parts of philosophy.
We will also analyze the ways in which the basic concepts of the Critique of Judgment were transformed by the German Idealism as well as by the Neo-Kantianism. We will discuss the meaning of the third Critique for the contemporary philosophy too.
