Introduction
The Twentieth-Century Afterlife of Kants Critique of Aesthetic Judgment
Stefano Marino
Pietro Terzi
Sections 1 and 3 of this Introduction were written together by both authors. Stefano Marino authored the introduction to section 2.2. as well as subsections 2.2.1. and 2.2.4. Pietro Terzi wrote the introduction to section 2, section 2.1, and subsections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. The general structure and contents of this Introduction, however, have been planned, discussed and conceived together by both authors.
A Forgotten Legacy
It is beyond doubt that Immanuel Kants Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790) represents one of the most important texts of modern philosophy. Following the Critique of Pure Reason (11781; 21787) and the Critique of Practical Reason (1788), Kants third Critique constitutes the theoretical culmination and completion of the systematic philosophical project Kant had started twenty years before. It began with his 1770 dissertation On the Form and Principles of the Sensible and the Intelligible World, and his discovery of the possibility of an a priori foundation of human knowledge. With this came a consequent aim: to develop this discovery in a full-blown way into an investigation of the bounds of sensibility and of reason, including a doctrine of taste, of metaphysics and of moral philosophy. The third Critique is therefore not only an end, i.e. the final part of the three-sided system of transcendental philosophy, but also marks the beginning of new possible paths of thought, exemplified by the development that certain Kantian concepts and doctrines presented in the first, the second and the third Critiques undergo in some of his later writings, including Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone (1793), Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (1798) and the Opus postumum (1804).
The Critique of the Power of Judgment stands out for its unique importance not only in the context of Kants own thinking but also, as we have said, in the context of modern philosophy as a whole, and particularly in the context of modern and contemporary aesthetics. As has been noted by Gnter Figal, Baumgartens Aesthetica, to which philosophical aesthetics owes its name, was intended as an elucidation of aisthetik episteme, of perceptual knowledge, but even though Baumgartens [was] the first systematic attempt in modern philosophy to dignify sensible or sensibly dominated knowledge in its peculiarity [], Kants Critique of Judgment was more influential in this regard; philosophical aesthetics really begins with him, and it was Kant who first gave philosophical aesthetics a significance pertaining to philosophy as such (, p. 28).
At the same time, as several important scholars of Kant have observed, the Critique of the Power of Judgment is a complex, multi-layered, heterogeneous, discontinuous and, so to speak, patchy work. This, on the one hand, has contributed to the articulated, branching (and therefore fascinating)
