Kant's Critique of Judgement

Immanuel Kant

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Judgement" represents a pivotal exploration of aesthetics and teleology, forming a crucial part of his critical philosophy. This work, written in 1790, bridges the gap between the empirical inquiries of the "Critique of Pure Reason" and the moral imperatives of the "Critique of Practical Reason." Kant employs a meticulous analytical style, melding metaphysical inquiry with a profound examination of human experience, particularly in regard to beauty and sublime. He seeks to articulate the principles underlying aesthetic judgments and the experience of nature, asserting the significance of subjective feelings in the comprehension of universal concepts. Kant, a central figure in modern philosophy, draws on his background in metaphysics and epistemology to craft this text. Living in the Enlightenment era, Kant's engagement with the prevalent ideas around human understanding and moral philosophy profoundly influenced his treatment of aesthetic judgment, posing significant questions about the role of the viewer and the object of beauty. His rigorous intellectual upbringing in Königsberg, alongside his discussions with contemporaries, crystallized his belief in the interrelation of aesthetic experience and rational thought. For scholars, students, and lovers of philosophy alike, "Critique of Judgement" offers essential insights into the complexities of human perception and the foundations of aesthetic appreciation. Kant's contemplative approach urges readers to reconsider not only the nature of beauty but also the implications of their own judgments within a broader philosophical context. It is a compelling read for anyone seeking to understand the intricate balance between subjective experience and objective principles.

Student Prostitution Online -...

Eva Clouet

A student union recently estimated that “40,000 students are now prostitutes in France.” The primary cause is the growing precariousness and high cost of student life. This study, carried out in 2006-2007, is a vivid description of the novelty of this form of prostitution. It is practiced discreetly, occasionally, independently, via the Internet, mainly by young female students who call themselves “escorts.”
The book’s findings are twofold. While student prostitution is first and foremost linked to a precarious economic situation and low-income parents, it can sometimes be experienced as a means of emancipating oneself from a framed sexuality, from a life that’s too smooth, or of taking “revenge” on the myth of Prince Charming. Also, this type of prostitution differs from so-called “traditional” prostitution—selection of clients, “friendly” atmosphere, socialization through generational and social class differences.
The fact remains that for these students, the “choice” of becoming a prostitute is dependent on a series of social and representative breakdowns, frequently linked to the power of money, the attraction of certain material signs of wealth, and also to a double domination: masculine and socio-economic.

Mouse Utopia Experiment The: The...

Editors Charles River

In 1968, biologist John Calhoun began an experiment at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland. Calhoun was interested in discovering the factors that drove and limited rodent population growth; he had joined the Rodent Ecology Project in Baltimore in 1946, and he and other members of the project had become interested in understanding how to reduce rodent pests in America’s cities without the use of poison.
Calhoun had already undertaken similar experiments. In fact, this would be his 25th attempt at creating a self-sustaining rodent colony. This experiment was known as the Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice, but informally, it was known as mouse heaven or, more commonly, mouse utopia.
The experiment was carefully crafted, and Calhoun’s previous experience was used to design a “perfect” environment for mice. Free from predators, disease, and stress, with unlimited access to water and plentiful food supplies, the mice involved could, in theory, live much longer lives than mice in the wild. Calhoun built the “mouse universe,” added mice, and provided food and water. Then, for almost five years, he simply watched what happened in mouse utopia.
While it may be fair to wonder how a fairly obscure zoological experiment that took place over 50 years ago has any relevance to modern society, since the experiment ended, people have been using the findings of what became known as the Calhoun Mouse Utopia Experiment to make predictions about human behavior and human societies. In the decades since Calhoun finished his work, this experiment has been used to “prove,” among other things, that modern urban society is doomed, that contemporary society will inevitably lead to lethal levels of overpopulation, and even that political creeds such as communism and socialism are unsustainable.

Summary of Thomas C Foster's How...

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Thomas C. Foster's How to Read Novels Like a Professor 
  
When novels became a thing around the seventeenth century, it was all thrilling. It wasn't possible for readers to say, “This is unoriginal, this has been done before, this is a good or bad novel.” Every novel was an innovation. As time progressed, a framework for the conventional novel emerged: a linear narrative, stories about people growing up or falling apart, compelling characters, and definite conclusions that provide emotional satisfaction. 
In How to Read Novels Like a Professor (2008), Thomas C. Foster dives deep into each of these elements, using his own set of laws for the novel to help readers increase their understanding. He backs up his explanations with a wealth of vivid literary examples that will make you want to read every novel he mentions.
