Excerpt from Kant's Critique of Aesthetic Judgement: Translated, With Seven Introductory Essays, Notes, and Analytical Index The present volume, in seeking to give some assistance to students in so much of Kant's Critique of judgement as deals with the problems of aesthetics, aims particularly at suggesting interpretations which may help to free Kant's argument from such charges-without, however, in any way implying that Kant is likely to be followed entirely on all points on which his meaning is understood. Certainly the comprehensiveness Of Kant's account is one Of its most striking features. Its chief merit does not lie in the number of interesting and illuminating observations which are made - for in the great majority of these Kant was anticipated - but in the number Of different points Of view which are co ordinated, and the divergent rays Of thought which are brought into a common focus. It is not so much Kant's views on this or that question that are calculated to impress the reader, as their systematic connexion, and the feeling that behind each of them lies the entire strength of his whole critical philosophy. It is this that makes a sympathetic critic especially anxious to reconcile apparent inconsistency between positions of any importance.
