Kant by Allen W. Wood

mistert's review against another edition

2.0

 The prose is atrocious (example below), and the sentence structure quite convoluted throughout. Not a good introduction to Kant.

In this way, Kant is seen as leading out of eighteenth-century aesthetics, which generally viewed beauty generally and art in particular in terms of their functions in moral psychology and moral education, and into a new, more modern and liberated aesthetics in which art is seen as having its own independent function in human life apart from morality or any other goodness-oriented enterprise.
