This book introduces readers to Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgment, widely accepted as the foundation of modern aesthetic theory. It places this philosophical classic in its historical context and shows its relevance to major issues in contemporary aesthetics. Robert Wicks leads the reader through Kant's analysis and deduction of pure judgments of taste, and goes on to explore the themes of nature, fine art and morality found in the Critique. This is the ideal book for anyone coming to Kant's Critique of Judgment for the first time.
