Not as great as its "older brother" the First Critique (the Critique of Pure Reason), but an interesting book nonetheless and one which presents the strongest imaginable rebuttal to the idea that "good taste is subjective". (

In college, I was taught as an undergraduate, that Kant united the European Continental and British philosopher and the streams of rationalism and empiricism with their future directions, where in the spirit of Ogden Nash, "If you convinced me and I convinced you, would there not then still be two points of view?" - both traditions changed profoundly, so one could see lines crossing IN Kant's analytical thinking.

The critique of judgement. Translated with analytical indexes by James Creed Meredith by Immanuel Kant (1973)

Perhaps one element of good philosophy should be that the argument be at least moderately straightforward. Maybe Kant is just deep, but I perceive a lot of leaps to conclusions based on a huge amount of new, creative concepts as the springboard. I have not studied enough of this to be definite, but my suspicion is that Kant is considered a great philosopher by a brand of intellectuals that can use such indeterminate fluff to justify their views about how philosophy leads to current sociological and political trends. For example: "Skill can hardly be developed in the human race otherwise than by means of inequality among men." I rate this a 4 only because it holds such an esteemed spot in the development of modern philosophy, but it's not the type of argument that convinces me. (

In THE CRITIQUE OF JUDGMENT (1790), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) seeks to establish the a priori principles underlying the faculty of judgement, just as he did in his previous critiques of pure and practical reason. The first part deals with the subject of our aesthetic sensibility; we respond to certain natural phenomena as beautiful, says Kant, when we recognise in nature a harmonious order that satisfies the mind's own need for order. The second half of the critique concentrates on the apparent teleology in nature's design of organisms. Kant argues that our minds are inclined to see purpose and order in nature and this is the main principle underlying all of our judgements. Although this might imply a super sensible Designer, Kant insists that we cannot prove a supernatural dimension or the existence of God. Such considerations are beyond reason and are solely the province of faith.
