The primary objective of An Inquiry into the Nature of Aesthetic
Theory in Its Relation to Theory of Knowledge in Kant's Critical
Philosophy is to investigate Kant's aesthetic theory and its
problematic relation to theory of knowledge in his transcendental
philosophy. In the Critique of Judgment, Kant constructs his
aesthetic theory by arguing that the aesthetic experience is based
on a certain type of feeling, namely, the feeling of pleasure,
rather than a concept. He grounds such a feeling on the aesthetic
judgment of reflection. In spite of its nonconceptual and
subjective characteristic, an aesthetic reflective judgment still
has a claim to be universally valid. Here, the feeling of pleasure
in beautiful is produced by the free harmonious relation between
the imagination and the understanding. Judgment, in its reflective
employment, does not determine its object but determines the
feeling of pleasure in the judging subject. On the other hand, the
categories, as pure concepts of the understanding, carry nearly all
the weight in his theory of knowledge presented in the Critique of
Pure Reason. The imagination, in this case, is strictly bound up by
the rules that are imposed by the concepts of the understanding. By
this way, judgment, as a cognitive faculty, determines its object
and gains its objective validity. In this context, this book
discusses the nature of Kant's aesthetic theory and the components
that constitute a pure aesthetic judgment of reflection and
attempts to clarify its proper place in critical philosophy
regarding his theory of knowledge.
