Immanuel Kant: 246 books

Kant, the most revolutionary and important figure in Western philosophy since Aristotle, wrote the Critique of Judgment as the capstone of his trilogy of Critiques. Through its investigation of the beautiful and the sublime, it set the terms for modern aesthetics and art criticism. Its discussion...

Los escritos reunidos en este volumen fueron publicados entre 1784 y 1798, esto es, en la época de madurez de Kant, después de Crítica de la razón pura. Externamente lo que une a los textos es su mayor brevedad en comparación con las tres críticas. Brevedad que no cabe confundir, como se ha...
