The Critique of Judgment

The Critique of Judgment, written by Immanuel Kant, explores how we evaluate beauty and morality. Kant argues that judgments of beauty are subjective but can have universal appeal, meaning people can agree on what is beautiful despite personal tastes. He also examines the relationship between aesthetic experience and moral judgment, suggesting that both involve a sense of purpose and harmony. Ultimately, Kant aims to bridge the gap between reason and the realms of art and ethics, influencing our understanding of how we perceive and value the world around us.
