About This Item
Berlin u. Libau: Lagarde und Friederich, 1790. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Kants Third and Final Critique: Judgment
KANT, Immanuel, Critik der Urtheilskraft (Critique of Judgment), Lagarde und Friederich, Berlin u. Libau, 1790. 1 blank leaf + TP + [iii] x = Vorrede + [xi] lvi = Einleitung (introduction) + [lvii] lviii = Eintheilung (divisions/contents) + half-title + [1] 476 + 1 leaf = Druckfehler; (errata), Octavo. First Edition [Warda 125].
Kants third and final critique explores the notion of beauty. For Kant, the beautiful rests between the good and the pleasant. Where the good is that which is esteemed by all and the pleasant is that which gratifies the one, the beautiful pleases the one as it does others. Beauty in art is bound up with such subjective universalityit speaks to the hearts of all men. Judgment of the beautiful is true because pleases me in a way that it also universally pleases those with taste. The experience of the beautiful is free from being bound to either a strictly objective standard or a strictly subjective standard. It feels good and is gratifying to experience subjective universality. Critique of Judgment adds the final piece of Kants major philosophical project, joining together (and perhaps bridging the gap between) his first, Critique of Pure Reason, and his second, Critique of Practical Reason. A rare, first-edition copy in original state.
CONDITION: Very good or better in contemporary half calf with light brown boards. Spine with raised bands forming six compartments. Author and title in gilt. The boards are lightly scuffed Moderate foxing to first few leaves with faded name to title page and stamped initials of former owner to verso of TP. Fresh, clean and remarkably bright pages throughout. Overall, a beautiful copy.
