The question of values in Kant's philosophy: nature, the thing in itself and the beautiful
Authors: Theodorou, Panagiotis

Description:
Abstract:
Kant undertakes to elaborate the problem posed by modern physics after the scientific revolution: what is the place and what should be the orientation of man in an open universe composed of mere physical beings and events? This is essentially the problem that now explicitly poses the philosophical problem of values as it is posed in modern times. In the ancient closed world the problem remained veiled because it could not presuppose the modern division of reality into facts and values. With the problem of the is-need relationship posed by Hume in mind, Kant moves--awakened here also by the latter--to solve transcendentalistically and critically the problem of values, e.g., good, beautiful, useful. He thus devotes, to this problem, the Critique of Practical Reason and especially the Critique of Critical Power.
