Aesthetic Judgment and the Moral Image of the World: Studies in Kant Paperback - 1994

by Dieter Henrich


From the publisher

This is a collection of four essays on aesthetic, ethical, and political issues by Dieter Henrich, the preeminent Kant scholar in Germany today. Although his interests have ranged widely, he is perhaps best known for rekindling interest in the great classical German tradition from Kant to Hegel.

The first essay summarizes Henrich's research into the development of the Kant's moral philosophy, focusing on the architecture of the third Critique. Of special interest in this essay is Henrich's intriguing and wholly new account of the relations between Kant and Rousseau. In the second essay, Henrich analyzes the interrelations between Kant's aesthetics and his cognitive theories. His third essay argues that the justification of the claim that human rights are universally valid requires reference to a moral image of the world. To employ Kant's notion of a moral image of the world without ignoring the insights and experience of this century requires drastic changes in the content of such an image. Finally, in Henrich's ambitious concluding essay, the author compares the development of the political process of the French Revolution and the course of classical German philosophy, raise the general question of the relation between political processes and theorizing, and argues that both the project of political liberty set in motion by the French Revolution, and the projects of classical German philosophy remain incomplete.

First line

THE NOTION OF an "image of the world" has many philosophical implications, one of them clearly Kantian: conceptions of a world arise in particular contexts.

From the rear cover

"Henrich is one of today's leading scholars on classical German philosophy. A striking feature of his work is the combination of historical scholarship with deep concern about intellectual and ethical relevance of authors like Kant, Fichte, or Hegel. . . . The essays are clearly written and well translated. . . . Their scholarly mastery will be appreciated by students of Kant and German idealism."--Choice

Stanford University Press, 1994. Paperback. Good. 88x4x136. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Softcover. Shelf wear. Scattered underlining and markings by Connolly. <br> "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory.

In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University
