Lessons on the analytic of the sublime Book

Every time I read Lyotard, I feel that I'm in the presence of a master. This is the finest explication de texte I have ever read. Lyotard pays close attention to the main problems of Kantian philosophy as they relate to the third Critique, and defines Kant's idiomatic terminology in Kant's own words. I was surprised to find out these are Lyotard's lecture notes, and that he has another book on Kant. I'd definitely be motivated to read his other book, because this was incisive. To say this is a mere explication belies the far more postmodern reading he's bringing to bear on Kant. Specifically, Lytotard emphasizes his own concept of the differend in Kant's antinomies, but far more importantly, Lyotard deconstructs Kant's critique. Kant is shown to be insufficient by his own terms upon a deeper analysis: "The table [of categories] also reminds us that the final end is not finality: the concept of first causality or freedom is given by reason as the end to will; finality (paradoxical in the case of the sublime), which is expressed in aesthetic feeling, is subjectively 'judged' (tautegorically, as sensation) by a power of judgment that operates without the mediation of a concept." That said, he's quite generous and faithful in his reading of Kant. That said, one should heed the book's warning that it is not an introduction to Kant's Critique of Judgment, nor is it a substitute for reading the text.
