"Kant and Milton" brings to bear new evidence and long-neglected
materials to show the importance of Kant s encounter with Milton s
poetry to the formation of Kant s moral and aesthetic thought.
Sanford Budick reveals the relation between a poetic vision and a
philosophy that theorized what that poetry was doing. As Plato and
Aristotle contemplate Homer, so Kant contemplates Milton. In all
these cases philosophy and poetry allow us to better understand
each other. Milton gave voice to the transformation of human
understanding effected by the Protestant Revolt, making poetry of
the idea that human reason is created self-sufficient. Kant turned
that religiously inflected poetry into the richest modern
philosophy. Milton s bold self-reliance is Kant s as well. Using
lectures of Kant that have been published only in the past decade,
Budick develops an account of Kant based on his lifelong absorption
in the poetry of Milton, especially "Paradise Lost." By bringing to
bear the immense power of his reflections on aesthetic and moral
form, Kant produced one of the most penetrating interpretations of
Milton s achievement that has ever been offered and, at the same
time, reached new peaks in the development of aesthetics and moral
reason.
