Title: Expressions of Judgment
Description: Expressions of Judgment emphasizes the internal connection of judgment and meaning in Kant{u2019}s aesthetics, showing how the pleasure in judging is intimately related to our capacity to draw meaning from our encounter with beauty. Although the meaningfulness of aesthetic judgment is most evident in the response to art, the appreciation of nature{u2019}s beauty has an equal share in the significant experience of our world. Friedlander{u2019}s attention to fundamental dualities underlying the Third Critique{u2014}such as that of art and nature{u2014}underscores how its themes are subordinated systematically to the central task Kant sets himself: that of devising a philosophical blueprint for the mediation between the realms of nature and freedom.
