A Matter of Form: Aesthetic Judgement and Feeling in Kant

On October 1st, 2012

Keren Gorodeisky (Philosophy, Auburn University and current fellow at the National Humanities Center) gave the lecture “A Matter of Form: Aesthetic Judgement and Feeling in Kant” with comments by Andrew Janiak (Philosophy, Duke)

Keren Gorodeisky works on aesthetics, Kant, judgment, Post-Kantian German philosophy, skepticism and questions concerning the relation between philosophy and literature. Currently she is writing a manuscript on the form of Kant’s notion of the judgment of beauty, as distinct from the forms of theoretical and practical judgments. She is also developing a reconstruction of the philosophy of the “Early German Romantics.” She is the 2012-13 Phillip Quinn Fellow at the National Humanities Center.
