Critique of Judgment
Before Immanuel Kant published his "Critique of Judgment" in 1790, ""schöne Wissenschaft"" was highly regarded. ""Schöne Wissenschaft"" included poetry, rhetoric, and other subjects that were meant to promote an understanding of truth, beauty, and goodness. Kant argued that aesthetic judgments were not an area of systematic knowledge, and therefore were outside the realm of Wissenschaft.
