Immanuel Kant
Kant's Critique of Judgement
"Kant's Critique of Judgement" by Immanuel Kant is a philosophical work published in 1790. The third in Kant's critical trilogy, it bridges his earlier investigations of knowledge and morality by exploring the nature of judgment itself. Divided into aesthetic and teleological sections, the work examines how we make judgments about beauty, the sublime, and purpose in nature. Kant introduces the concept of "subjective universal" judgments, revealing how aesthetic experiences claim validity beyond personal preference while resisting absolute determination.
