Riassunto

This 1790 polemic by one of philosophy's most important and influential figures attempts to establish the principles that support the faculty of judgment. Kant's third critique — after Critique of Practical Reason and Critique of Pure Reason — remains one of the most important works on human reason. The Critique of Judgment informs the very basis of modern aesthetics by establishing the almost universally accepted framework for debate of aesthetic issues.
As in his previous critiques, Kant seeks to establish a priori principles. The first part of this work addresses aesthetic sensibility. The human response to specific natural phenomena as beautiful, he asserts, is a recognition of nature's harmonious order that corresponds to a mental need for order. The critique's second half focuses on the apparent teleology in nature's design of organisms. The philosopher declares that the mind is predisposed to find purpose and order in nature, and this predisposition forms the main principle underlying all our judgments. Although this could be interpreted as an argument in favor of a creator, Kant insists that a supernatural dimension or the existence of God cannot be proven — such considerations lie beyond the realm of reason, solely within the province of faith.

The principle of the formal purposiveness of nature is a transcendental principle of Judgment VI. Of the combination of the feeling of pleasure with the concept of the purposiveness of nature VII. Of the aesthetical representation of the purposiveness of nature VIII. Of the logical representation of the purposiveness of nature IX. Of the connexion of the legislation of Understanding with that of Reason by means of the Judgment First Part: Critique of the Aesthetical Judgment First Division: Analytic of the Aesthetical Judgment First Book: Analytic of the Beautiful First Moment of the judgment of taste, according to quality 1. The judgment of taste is aesthetical 2. The satisfaction which determines the judgment of taste is disinterested 3. The satisfaction in the pleasant is bound up with interest 4. The satisfaction in the good is bound up with interest 5. Comparison of the three specifically different kinds of satisfaction Second Moment of the judgment of taste, viz. according to quantity 6. The Beautiful is that which apart from concepts is represented as the object of a universal satisfaction 7. Comparison of the Beautiful with the Pleasant and the Good by means of the above characteristic 8. The universality of the satisfaction is represented in a judgment of Taste only as subjective 9. Investigation of the question whether in the judgment of taste the feeling of pleasure precedes or follows the judging of the object Third Moment of judgments of taste, according to the relation of the purposes which are brought into consideration therein 10. Of purposiveness in general 11. The judgment of taste has nothing at its basis but the form of the purposiveness of an object (or of its mode of representation) 12. The judgment of taste rests on a priori grounds 13. The pure judgment of taste is independent of charm and emotion 14. Elucidation by means of examples 15. The judgment of taste is quite independent of the concept of perfection 16. The judgment of taste, by which an object is declared to be beautiful under the condition of a definite concept, is not pure 17. Of the Ideal of Beauty Fourth Moment of the judgment of taste, according to the modality of the satisfaction in the object 18. What the modality in a judgment of taste is 19. The subjective necessity, which we ascribe to the judgment of taste, is conditioned 20. The condition of necessity which a judgment of taste asserts is the Idea of a common sense 21. Have we ground for presupposing a common sense? 22. The necessity of the universal agreement that is thought in a judgment of taste is a subjective necessity, which is represented as objective under the presupposition of a common sense General remark on the first section of the Analytic Second Book: Analytic of the Sublime 23. Transition from the faculty which judges of the Beautiful to that which judges of the Sublime 24. Of the divisions of an investigation into the feeling of the sublime A. Of the Mathematically Sublime 25. Explanation of the term "sublime" 26. Of that estimation of the magnitude of natural things which is requisite for the Idea of the Sublime 27. Of the quality of the satisfaction in our judgments upon the Sublime B. Of the Dynamically Sublime in Nature 28. Of Nature regarded as Might 29. Of the modality of the judgment upon the sublime in nature General remark upon the exposition of the aesthetical reflective Judgment Deduction of [pure] aesthetical judgments 30. The Deduction of aesthetical judgments on the objects of nature must not be directed to what we call Sublime in nature, but only to the Beautiful. 31. Of the method of deduction of judgments of Taste 32. First peculiarity of the judgment of Taste 33. Second peculiarity of the judgment of Taste 34. There is no objective principle of Taste possible 35. The principle of Taste is the subjective principle of Judgment in general 36. Of the problem of a Deduction of judgments of Taste 37. What is properly asserted a priori of an object in a judgment of Taste 38. Deduction of judgments of Taste 39. Of the communicability of a sensation 40. Of Taste as a kind of sensus communis 41. Of the empirical interest in the Beautiful 42. Of the intellectual interest in the Beautiful 43. Of Art in general 44. Of beautiful Art 45.

Of the division of the beautiful arts 52. Of the combination of beautiful arts in one and the same product 53. Comparison of the respective aesthetical worth of the beautiful arts 54. Remark second Division: Dialectic of the Aesthetical Judgment 55. 56. Representation of the antinomy of Taste 57. Solution of the antinomy of Taste 58.

Appendix: Of the method of Taste Second Part: Critique of the Teleological Judgment 61. Of the objective purposiveness of Nature First Division: Analytic of the Teleological Judgment 62. Of the objective purposiveness which is merely formal as distinguished from that which is material 63. Of the relative, as distinguished from the inner, purposiveness of nature 64. Of the peculiar character of things as natural purposes 65. Things regarded as natural purposes are organised beings 66. Of the principle of judging of internal purposiveness in organised beings 67. Of the principle of the teleological judging of nature in general as a system of purposes 68. Of the principle of Teleology as internal principle of natural science second Division: Dialectic of the Teleological Judgment 69. What is an antinomy of the Judgment? 70. Representation of this antinomy 71. Preliminary to the solution of the above antinomy 72. Of the different systems which deal with the purposiveness of nature 73. None of the above systems give what they pretend 74. The reason that we cannot treat the concept of a Technic of nature dogmatically is the fact that a natural purpose is inexplicable 75. The concept of an objective purposiveness of nature is a critical principle of Reason for the reflective Judgment 76. Remark 77. Of the peculiarity of the human Understanding, by means of which the concept of a natural purpose is possible 78.
