Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principle of Teleology in the Critical Philosophy of Kant
This Essay consists of two parts the first being his torical the second, expository and critical. In the his torical part, an effort has been made to trace the in?u ences and steps which led to the displacement of Aris totle's bipartite division of the fundamental powers of mind by the present generally accepted division into Intellect, Feeling, and Will. It is also shown in Part I that Kant's original plan comprised only the critiques of pure and practical philosophy, and that the third Critique was designed at a later time, to establish a prim/i prin ciples for the newly discoved faculty of Feeling. Final ly, it is maintained that Kant combined the Critique of Teleology with the Critique of Taste, and issued them under a common title - the Cm'z'z'gue of fudgmeni - be cause both works center about the notion of purposive ness, or design. Part II is devoted to a consideration of the Cm'z'z'gue of judgment as a mediating link between the critiques of pure and practical philosophy; or, if one is thinking of the content - the inner nature of three Critiques - the object is to consider the principle Of teleology, which the Crz'z'z'que of judgment illustrates, as a means of mediating the modes of thought prevail ing in the realms of freedom and nature.
