The problem of aesthetic judgment: Perspectives of aesthetics
Popović Una (Filozofski fakultet, Novi Sad)
This paper deals with the interpretation of Kant’s Critique of Judgment from
the perspective of aesthetics. Our aim here is to show the immanent
relationship between the two main motifs of this work: the analysis of
traditional aesthetic problems, such as beauty and taste, on the one hand,
and the systematical thinking, philosophy, and Kant’s critical project, on
the other. This interpretation is developed in consideration of the problem
of aesthetics as a philosophical discipline, within which, for each of the
motifs of Kant’s third critique it is shown how it redefines aesthetic into
philosophical thought. Finally, the character of critical positioning of
aesthetic problems in Kant is shown in light of the opening of the
perspective of subjective universality as a theme that connects the two
motifs of third critique, but also allows a different view in the domain of
intersubjectivity.
Keywords: Kant, Critique of Judgement, aesthetics, taste, subjective universality
