Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgment is widely recognized as a
founding document of modern aesthetics, but its legacy has fallen
into disrepute. In this book Katalin Makkai calls for the
rediscovery of Kant's aesthetics, showing that its centerpiece, his
investigation of the judgment of taste, paints a compelling
portrait of our relationships with works of art that we love. At
its heart is a scene of aesthetic encounter in which one feels
oneself to be 'animated' - brought to life - by an object, finding
there to be something in one's experience of it, beyond what there
is to know about it, that one wants to explore and articulate.
Tracing Kant's insight that to judge is to reveal one's sense of
what bears judging, and hence of what matters, Makkai situates
Kant's aesthetics within his larger study, begun in the first
Critique, of judgment's fundamental role in the life of the mind.
