Kant and the Ends of Aesthetics

by Gary Banham

Banham (lecturer, Bolton Institute and philosophy teacher in adult education, Manchester, England) presents an interpretation of Kant's aesthetics at odds with the contemporary approach to the Critique of Judgment . Arguing that the text needs to be read as a whole in order to reveal the issue of how to think politically, which is embedded in the second half of the work, he advocates increased critical attention on the Critique of Teleological Judgment .
