Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment is widely held to be the
seminal work of modern aesthetics. In recent years it has been the
focus of intense interest and debate not only in philosophy but
also in literary theory and all disciplines concerned with the
aesthetic. The Aesthetic in Kant is a new reading of Kant's
problematic text. It draws upon the great volume of recent
philosophical work on this classic text and on the context of
eighteenth century aesthetics. Kant's work is used as a basis on
which to construct a radical alternative to the antinomy of taste -
the basic problem of the aesthetic. In Kant's account is a theory
of the aesthetic that, far from establishing its 'disinterested'
nature, instead makes it symptomatic of what Kant himself describes
as the ineradicable human tendency to entertain 'fantastic
desires'.
