An extended philosophical analysis of the concept of judgement,
important in many areas of contemporary philosophy, including
epistemology, the philosophy of value and aesthetics. Kant's
philosophy understands judgement in different ways in the cognition
of nature, the appreciation of natural beauty, and in the
determination of moral action. This book aims to explore these
three 'philosophies' of judgement, producing in the process a new
and creative reading of Kant's work. The result is a unique
book-length study of judgement in general. At the core of this
reading is an interpretation of how Kant understands reflection,
presentation and activity. Novel aspects include accounts of the
transcendental object, the implications of considering cognition as
an activity, the structure of sensible givenness, Kant on the
sublime, and the moral argument. The book draws upon ideas from
within the Continental philosophy tradition, particularly from
Nietzsche, Heidegger and Deleuze. To Nietzsche there is devoted a
whole chapter on the subject of sensation and physics, which aims
to expand upon and illuminate parallel discussions in the reading
of Kant. Readers will find much of interest in this wide-ranging
text, including treatments of key features in Kant's epistemology,
philosophy of mind, aesthetics, philosophy of religion as well as
his practical philosophy. Features * The first book to consider
Kant's account of judgement in general. * A unique interpretation
of Kant, employing philosophers in the Continental tradition - e.g
Nietzsche, Heidegger and Deleuze. * Contains a sustained study of
Nietzsche on the subject of sensation and physics.
