Abstract

In this chapter I will describe the controversy that exists concerning the interpretation of the antinomy of reflective judgment and argue for a unitary reading of the Dialectic of Teleological Judgment. I will connect my reading to an account of the antinomy of judgments of taste in the Critique of Aesthetic Judgment. In doing so, I will present a detailed response to Werner Pluhar’s interpretation of the relation between the Antinomies of Taste and Teleological Judgment.
