Drawing on a wide range of scholarship, this book offers a new and
comprehensive examination of Kant's argument that aesthetic
judgements are combined with a claim to subjective universality.
The author gives a detailed account of the background to this claim
in Kant's epistemology, logic, and metaphysics, before closely
attending to the crucial sections of the Critique of the Power of
Judgement. In particular, it is shown that Kant's aesthetics
requires that his theory of the subject be rethought. Central to
the theory of the subject that begins to emerge from the Third
Critique is Kant's enigmatic notion of 'life' which is extensively
explored here. This study, therefore, thoroughly examines the
central features of Kant's account of aesthetic judgements,
suggesting that a new and exciting theory of subjectivity begins to
be outlined in Kant's aesthetics. The author argues for the
placement of Kant's account of the subjective universality of
aesthetic judgement at the centre of contemporary philosophical
aesthetics.
