posted on 2023-01-18, 18:21 authored by Valerijs VinogradovsSubmission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Politics and Philosophy, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Victoria.
The principal aim of this project is to carefully elucidate a niche and role of aesthetic artistic Bildung in Kant’s educational architectonic. The cultivation of taste, on the face of it, prepares a Kantian agent for morality. However, would our understanding of this order change, if first, Kant’s theory of artistic expression were interpreted in a more inclusive fashion and, second, if we were to seriously consider Kant’s proposition at KdU 5: 356 that genuine taste presupposes the development of moral ideas and moral feeling? The proposed project fills this lacuna and, in doing so, I gradually explore the aesthetic element in Kant’s culture of the mind.
