This book argues that the philosophical significance of Kant's
aesthetics lies not in its explicit account of beauty but in its
implicit account of intentionality. Kant's account is distinct in
that feeling, affect, or mood must be operative within the way the
mind receives the world. Moreover, these modes of receptivity fall
within the normative domain so that we can hold each other
responsible for how we are "struck" by an object or scene. Joseph
Tinguely composes a series of investigations into the
philosophically rich but regrettably neglected topics at the
intersection of Kant's aesthetics and epistemology, such as how we
orient ourselves in the world, whether tonality is a property of
the subject or object, and what we hope to accomplish when we
quarrel about taste. Taken together, these investigations offer a
robust and defensible picture of mind, which not only resolves
tensions in a Kantian account of intentionality but also offers a
timely intervention into contemporary debates about the "aesthetic"
nature of the way the mind is in touch with the world. Kant and the
Reorientation of Aesthetics will appeal to scholars and students of
Kant, as well as those working at the intersection of aesthetics
and philosophy of mind.
