Abstract
AbstractThis chapter provides a sustained phenomenological development of Kant's aesthetics of beauty and theory of art. This allows both aesthetic experience and art's distinctive articulation of it to be disclosed in great detail. Importance is assigned to the harmony of imagination and understanding as the basis of aesthetic experience, and to disinterestedness as a logical criterion of it. The chapter then outlines briefly a theory of artistic beauty derived from Kant's general position, and then goes on to more sustained consideration of his theory of art. Special attention is paid to the notions of originality and exemplariness as a basis for canonic value, and to the special character of those ‘aesthetic ideas’, which are central to Kant's account of the art object.
