The importance and significance of Kant's aesthetics have been widely debated. This work presents an original interpretation of Kant's account which is based on rethinking the nature of Critical Philosophy. Gary Banham presents the argument that the Critique of Judgment needs to be read as a whole. Aesthetics is investigated in relation to all three critiques with the recovery of a larger sense of the 'aesthetic' resulting. This broader notion of aesthetics is connected to the recovery of the critique of teleology in an original presentation of Kant's critical enterprise as constituted by the attempt to think the meaning of ends. It will force a new and more comprehensive engagement with Kant's legacy, and Banham's re-description of the scope of critique will influence discussion in the areas of political theory, literary criticism and art theory.
Industry Reviews

'Banham's book is, without a doubt, an important contribution to the study of Kant's theory of judgement...The intensity of focus and density of architectonic detail in Banham's writing are impressive...Those studying Habermas's position on modernity would particularly benefit from reading this book, for Habermas seeks to orientate the aesthetic as the realm of experience which overcomes the conceptual divisions exercised by modern thought. Here, in Banham's reading of Kant, we find the aesthetic already being prepared for this role.' - Clive Cazeaux, Kantian Review
