Kant's gesammelte Schriften. Band V. Kritik der Urtheilskraft.

The work treats judgment as the faculty that mediates between theoretical knowledge and moral reason. It analyzes aesthetic judgments of taste as disinterested pleasure claiming subjective universality, presenting beauty as purposiveness without purpose and distinguishing it from the sublime. The sublime appears in mathematical and dynamical forms, prompting recognition of the mind's power beyond nature's magnitude or force. Discussions of genius, a shared sensus communis, and the role of fine art show how aesthetic feeling connects to moral ideas. A second part considers teleological judgment: organisms are regarded as seemingly purposive for scientific explanation, with teleology treated as a regulative principle and antinomies addressed to reconcile mechanistic explanation and purposiveness, thereby linking nature and freedom.
