Concerned with the central topics of Kant's aesthetics, this book applies his general theory to the particular arts of music, architecture and sculpture. It poses fundamental questions about Kantian aesthetics, such as, how can a unified account of beauty find beauty within the arts?
Concerned with topics at the heart of Kant''s aesthetics, this provoking reading of The Critique of Judgement focuses on often misunderstood or neglected themes. Starting from the issues of the truth and justifiability of our critical assertions, Anthony Savile develops Kantian theory broadly across the arts, and shows it working with subtlety and rigour in cases as diverse as music and architecture. New light is thrown on the exemplary necessity of our aesthetic pleasures, on the Antimony of Taste, on the distinction between free and dependent beauty, on the supposed idealism of taste, and on the a priori limits of fine art. Eminently subjective material is here given a place in Kant''s overall idealism in a sophisticated discussion that will invite the close attention of Kant scholars and aestheticians alike.
