Learning unit contents
Reading the 3rd Critique
The course will propose a study of the first part of the Critique of the Judgment, the "critique of the faculty of aesthetic judgment". We will comment on the Kantian text and try to understand the specific problem of the "bridge" between nature and freedom, the particularities of the reflective judgment and the implementation of the concept of finality within the framework of the judgment of taste. This will lead to a broader view of the Kantian subject, taking into account the doctrine of common sense in its historico-political dimension.

Interpretation of the Cartesian metaphysics and of the Kantian philosophy considered inf the light of the main problems arising within Modern philosophy.
