The Review of Moral Interpretation of Aesthetic Deduction in Kant’s thought [Book Review]
Abstract
Kant needs to deduction in order to provide for universal and necessary validity of aesthetic judgment in the critique of judgment. In the deduction sections, He wants a reply to this question: how can a singular judgment be universally valid for everyone? In other words, how can the aesthetic judgment which basically is subjective, claim universal validity? Some of the Kant’s commentators believe that Kant’s deduction which expresses in the formal sections is unsuccessful and then they by the connecting of the beauty with morality want to provide an objective base for the aesthetic judgment. They aimed to explain the universal validity of the judgments. This essay first express deduction, then crisis the moral interpretation of Kant’s deduction. It seems that believe in a moral point of view in the deduction’s topic neglect the autonomy of aesthetic judgments and arises hetoronoum judgments.
