What struck me as the very core of reflective judgment is that we are predisposed to see purposefulness in the world. By analogy with works of art, the whole world has a sort of meaningful structure that's supposedly there for us to experience. It's this subjective purposefulness that, as I understand it, exists in us before we start experiencing the world. Feelings of pleasure and displeasure are intrinsically tied to this experience of purposefulness, and at one point Kant draws an equation sign between the two, although it seems as if Kant would always put feelings below judgment (and, of course, reason and understanding for that matter). So it's not that we feel good about something and then judge it, but vice versa. There is maybe a sort of mystical experience that's only guided by a sort of vague experience of purposefulness that Kant puts aside (it's the subjective relational purposefulness as opposed to intrinsic subjective purposefulness). So we are feeling good or in awe about something but we don't really know what it is - it's not that we don't experience it as purposeful, but the sheer intensity of this kind of experiences is such that it goes beyond our human apparatus.
hte intro music is outstandingly annoying, particularly outstanding as it is the intro to a podcast regarding such a fine topic as it is Philosophy and aesthetics lol
I don't agree with your take on geniuses: in English (I'm not a native speaker) we use it for people that come up with new solutions to (common) problems, or understand something they just learned very quickly. I would call that creative. Also, think of people like Picasso or Goethe, we would call them creative geniuses.
I've enjoyed this, you've explained these ideas really well so that someone like me can get a glimpse of a fine mind like Kant's.
This video is helping me a lot to prepare for my Aestetics exam, thank you very much
quality, quantity, modality and relation seem to be Kant’s eternal ‘fantastic four’. Lol
Haha ya exactly
He was obsessed with rule of trinity though...😊
Great video, thank you, note to self(nts) watched all of it 1:11:55
