Organized around eight themes central to aesthetic theory today,
this book examines the sources and development of Kant's aesthetics
by mining his publications, correspondence, handwritten notes, and
university lectures. Each chapter explores one of eight themes:
aesthetic judgment and normativity, formal beauty, partly
conceptual beauty, artistic creativity or genius, the fine arts,
the sublime, ugliness and disgust, and humor. Robert R. Clewis
considers how Kant's thought was shaped by authors such as
Christian Wolff, Alexander Baumgarten, Georg Meier, Moses
Mendelssohn, Johann Sulzer, Johann Herder, Francis Hutcheson, David
Hume, Edmund Burke, Henry Home, Charles Batteux, Jean-Jacques
Rousseau, and Voltaire. His resulting study uncovers and
illuminates the complex development of Kant's aesthetic theory and
will be useful to advanced students and scholars in fields across
the humanities and studies of the arts.
