Critique of the Power of Judgment
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Critique of the Power of Judgment (1970) was the third of Kant's three great critiques, and unified the visions of the principles of human inquiry and human conduct that Kant had previously developed in the Critique of Pure Reason (1781) and the Critique of Practical Reason respectively. In the third Critique, Kant showed how in scientific inquiry, in moral and practical conduct, and even in the experience of natural beauty and sublimity as well as their creation of art, human being s must be understood as autonomous agents who most fundamental principles are independent of experience but who are yet at home in and effective in nature around them.
