Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-03 00:00:00 Charles Mccormack This book offers a clear and powerful articulation, as well as a critical evaluation, of Kant's aesthetics. Guyer situates Kant between rationalists, who see beauty as a confused version of the rational grasp of perception, and empiricists, who identify beauty with a subjective feeling. Kant finds a middle ground position in which aesthetic pleasure is both non-conceptual and universal. Aesthetic pleasure has to do with a unity of the subject's understanding and the imagination. Guyer is dubious about the connection between beauty and morality, even though both phenomenon involve an element of disinterestedness, i.e. being moral means following the moral law regardless of incentives we might have and beauty is appreciated only if we don't crave the object for a certain use. Guyer is also dubious of the metaphysics of the supersensible, by which the faculty of judgment identifies purposiveness by uniting nature with reason's grasp of a supersensible unconditioned.
