Kant's "Critique of the Faculty of Judgement" between aesthetics, ethics and epistemology. Reading and commentary on the "Critique of the Faculty of Teleology of Judgement".

The course aims to deepen the relationship between aesthetics, ethics and epistemology through the reading and commenting of the second part of Kant's "Critique of the faculty of judgement", the "Critique of the faculty of teleology of judgement". The "Preface" and the second "Introduction" to the CFJ will be examined and commented on, in order to bring out the problems that bind aesthetics, epistemology and, finally, ethics, in Kant's reflection of the 1890s, examining in particular the interpretation of Emilio Garroni. A few hours of the course will be dedicated to themes of Kant's epistemology relevant to contemporary epistemology in the Introduction and in the "Critique of the Faculty of Teleology of Judgement" (with a comparison with Scaravelli's criticism) and will be made with the contribution of a PhD in Philosophy of Science. A few hours will be devoted to an introduction to the "Critique of the aesthetic faculty of judgment", which is part of the examination program.
