The Critique of Judgment" the third and final work in Kant s
critical system laid the groundwork of modern aesthetics when it
appeared in 1790. Eli Friedlander s reappraisal of this seminal
accomplishment reformulates and elucidates Kant s thought in order
to reveal the inner unity of the Third Critique.
Expressions of Judgment "emphasizes the internal connection of
judgment and meaning in Kant s aesthetics, showing how the pleasure
in judging is intimately related to our capacity to draw meaning
from our encounter with beauty. Although the meaningfulness of
aesthetic judgment is most evident in the response to art, the
appreciation of nature s beauty has an equal share in the
significant experience of our world. Friedlander s attention to
fundamental dualities underlying the Third Critique such as that of
art and nature underscores how its themes are subordinated
systematically to the central task Kant sets himself: that of
devising a philosophical blueprint for the mediation between the
realms of nature and freedom.
This understanding of the mediating function of judgment guides
Friedlander in articulating the dimensions of the field of the
aesthetic that opens between art and nature, the subject and the
object, knowledge and the will, as well as between the individual
and the communal. Expressions of Judgment" illuminates the
distinctness as well as the continuity of this important late phase
in Kant s critical enterprise, providing insights for experienced
scholars as well as new students of philosophy."
