About this book

This work presents a rethinking of Critical Philosophy through the recovery of a larger sense of 'aesthetics' in Kant. It provides an original unitary reading of the Critique of Judgement . This is situated in relation to Kant's attempt to think ends in general. The question of how to think ends is argued to guide Kant both in his treatment of aesthetics and teleology and to provide the rationale for critique itself. This challenging work will set a new standard for engagements with Kant.

Reviews

'Banham's book is, without a doubt, an important contribution to the study of Kant's theory of judgement...The intensity of focus and density of architectonic detail in Banham's writing are impressive...Those studying Habermas's position on modernity would particularly benefit from reading this book, for Habermas seeks to orientate the aesthetic as the realm of experience which overcomes the conceptual divisions exercised by modern thought. Here, in Banham's reading of Kant, we find the aesthetic already being prepared for this role.' - Clive Cazeaux, Kantian Review
