The goal of the group is to understand and discuss Kantian aesthetics, both in Kant himself and in contemporary work. We will start by getting on the same page about the basics of Kant’s views. After that, we will more closely examine both Kant’s writings and contemporary work that is Kantian. Below is the schedule and links to readings (except for the third critique, which we hope everyone has a hardcopy of; the common version will be the Guyer and Matthews Cambridge edition). This will be updated as we go and will of course be sensitive to the interests of the group.
In fall ‘25, we meet from 1,30-2,30 (eastern time) on zoom. You can join the zoom by clicking here.
