Critique of Judgment (Kritik der Urteilskraft)

"Critique of Judgment," written by Immanuel Kant, explores how humans perceive beauty and make moral judgments. It examines the capacity of our minds to appreciate art and nature, emphasizing that these judgments are subjective but still meaningful, grounded in shared human sensibility. Kant also discusses the idea of "purposiveness," where we see natural objects as if crafted with intention, inspiring aesthetic appreciation. Overall, the work bridges our sense of the beautiful with moral reflections, helping us understand how aesthetic experiences relate to human nature and our moral reasoning.
