Kant's only aesthetic work apart from the Critique of Judgment, Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime gives the reader a sense of the personality and character of its author as he sifts through the range of human responses to the concept of beauty and human manifestations of the beautiful and sublime. Kant was fifty-eight when the first of his great Critical trilogy, the Critique of Pure Reason, was published. Observations offers a view into the mind of the forty-year-old Kant.

About the Author:
German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) published his Critique of Pure Reason in 1781, the Critique of Practical Reason in 1788, and the Critique of Judgment in 1790. John T. Goldthwait is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, State University of New York, Plattsburgh.
Review:
"One of the most interesting features of the Observations is the intertwining of the moral and the aesthetic." -- Ronald W. Hepburn, British Journal of Aesthetics

"This early aesthetic work of Kant. . . is clearly and simply written and shows a deep understanding of human nature. What emerges from its pages is that far from being a dry-as-dust pedant, Kant was a man of warmth, feeling, and humour, and possessed an acute sensitivity for the different shades of aesthetic experience. The Observations was published in 1761 and this is the first complete translation since 1799. It contains a comprehensive introduction by the translator, as well as notes by him. . . . If it is not the omega of Kant's aesthetic theory it is certainly the alpha. " -- W. Mays, Philosophical Books
