Kantian aesthetics pursued

Edición de la obra Kantian aesthetics pursued

Concerned with topics at the heart of Kant's aesthetics, this provoking new reading of The Critique of Judgment focuses on often misunderstood or neglected themes. Starting from the issues of the truth and justifiability of our critical assertions. Anthony Savile develops Kantian theory broadly across the arts, and shows it working with subtlety and rigour in cases as diverse as music and architecture. New light is thrown on the exemplary necessity of our aesthetic pleasures, on the Antinomy of Taste, on the distinction between free and dependent beauty, on the supposed idealism of taste, and on the a priori limits of fine art. Eminently subjective material is here given firm place within Kant's overall idealism in a sophisticated discussion that will invite the close attention of Kant scholars and aestheticians alike.
