Kant’s Critique of Judgment is one of the most important texts in the history of modern aesthetics. This GuideBook discusses the Third Critique section by section, and introduces and assesses:

- Kant's life and the background of the Critique of Judgment

- the ideas and text of the Critique of Judgment, including a critical explanation of Kant’s theories of natural beauty

- the continuing relevance of Kant’s work to contemporary philosophy and aesthetics.

This GuideBook is an accessible introduction to a notoriously difficult work and will be essential reading for students of Kant and aesthetics.
