An Enquiry into Kant’s Critique of Judgment as Political Model.<\/em><\/p>\n

Abstract of the talk:<\/p>\n

Wittgenstein famously said,\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0ethics and aesthetics are one\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0 (Tractatus 6.421). Kant\u2019s two Critiques<\/em>, the one on practical reason concerned with ethics and the one on the power of judgement focused on aesthetics, would indicate they are two separate domains requiring different applications of reason and judgement. Yet the Critique of the Faculty of Judgment <\/em>has exercised a strong appeal to political theorists who value plurality and lucid discourse as integral elements of free political life. This lecture will examine the incarnation of Kant\u2019s Critique of the Faculty of Judgment <\/em>as a model for political judgment, notably in Hannah Arendt\u2019s interpretation.\u00a0 It will highlight the elements in Kant\u2019s analysis of the judgment of the beautiful that have served to nourish some contemporary notions of political deliberation.\u00a0 The pitfalls and potential promise of transposing an aesthetic appreciation to the political realm will also be considered. In Kant\u2019s view, aesthetic judgment is profoundly subjective, grounded in the feeling of pleasure or displeasure.\u00a0 Taste is a personal matter.\u00a0 It has, the particularity, however, of being communicable since it arises from reflective judgment.\u00a0 In judgments of taste, pleasure and displeasure are not pure sensation, but reflected feelings.\u00a0 To judge an object as beautiful, according to Kant, is to believe at the same time that others would find it so.\u00a0 This underlying and implicit dimension is what renders the experience of beauty communicable, absent any absolute definition of beauty.\u00a0 One might say the private experience of pleasure through the faculty of judgment is immediately also potentially inter-subjective as well as communicable.\u00a0 Inter-subjective experience and communicability are features that have inspired contemporary political thought in thinkers such as Arendt, Habermas and Rawls, but whether their genesis and ultimate goal resides in the judgment of taste or in cognition remains contested and open for discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
