While many studies have chronicled the Romantic legacy of artistic
genius, this book uncovers the roots of the concept of genius in
Kant's third "Critique," alongside the development of his
understanding of nature. Paul Bruno addresses a genuine gap in the
existing scholarship by exploring the origins of Kant's thought on
aesthetic judgment and particularly the artist.
The development of the word 'genius' and its intimate association
with the artist played itself out in a rich cultural context, a
context that is inescapably significant in Western thought. Bruno
shows how in many ways we are still interrogating the ways in which
a nature governed by physical laws can be reconciled with a spirit
of human creativity and freedom. This book leads us to a better
understanding of the centrality of understanding the modern
artistic enterprise, characterized as it is by creativity, for
modern conceptions of the self.
