students and scholars of the history of German philosophy. This
collection brings together in translation the finest post-war
German language scholarship on Hegel's social and political
philosophy, concentrating on the Elements of the Philosophy of
Right. Many of the essays appear in English here for the first
time; all are translated anew.

'beauty has purport and significance only for human beings, for
beings at once animal and rational' In the Critique of Judgement
(1790) Kant offers a penetrating analysis of our experience of the
beautiful and the sublime, discussing the objectivity of taste,
aesthetic disinterestedness, the relation of art and nature, the
role of imagination, genius and originality, the limits of
representation and the connection between morality and the
aesthetic. He also investigates the validity of our judgements
concerning the apparent purposiveness of nature with respect to the
highest interests of reason and enlightenment. The work profoundly
influenced the artists and writers of the classical and romantic
period and the philosophy of Hegel and Schelling. It has remained a
central point of reference from Schopenhauer and Nietzsche through
to phenomenology, hermeneutics, the Frankfurt School, analytical
aesthetics and contemporary critical theory. J. C. Meredith's
classic translation has been revised in accordance with standard
modern renderings and provided with a bilingual glossary. This
edition also includes the important 'First Introduction' that Kant
originally composed for the work. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
