In the Critique of Judgment, Kant argues that feeling is part of
the system of the mind. Judgments of taste based on feeling are a
unique kind of judgment, and the feeling that is their foundation
forms an independent third power of the mind. Feeling has a special
role within this system in that it also provides a transition
between the other two powers of the mind, cognition and desire.
Matthews argues that feeling, our experience of beauty, provides a
transition because it orients humans in a sensible world. Judgments
of taste help overcome the difficulties that arise when rational
cognitive and moral ends must be pursued in a sensible world.
Matthews demonstrates how feeling, disassociated from rational
activities in Kant's earlier works, is now central in reaching
rational ends and understanding humans as unified rational beings.
Audience: This book would be of interest to research libraries and
university libraries, philosophers, historians and aestheticians.
