Abstract
The aim of this book is to show that the Critique of Aesthetic Judgement is not a set of disconnected remarks about aesthetic matters more interesting because of the distinction of their author and their place in the history of the subject than in their own right. That work can be seen to present an integrated theory whose scope, depth and suggestive power mark it as deserving of study by all who work in the field of philosophical aesthetics.
