Key Claims
Immanuel Kant established modern aesthetic theory by demonstrating that the judgment of taste is universal yet non-conceptual, grounded in ‘disinterested satisfaction’ and ‘purposiveness without a purpose’. In the experience of the Mathematical and Dynamical Sublime, sensory overwhelm ultimately elevates the mind’s moral supersensible vocation.
