An Analysis Of The View Of Freedom In Kant's Aesthetics

In the era of Kant,the Enlightenment is faced with crisis.In the view of mechanical nature,freedom is trapped in theoretical dilemma.The central task of Kant's critical philosophy is to demonstrate the existence of freedom,and to seek reconciliation and unity for the contradiction between "nature and freedom".From Kant's whole critical philosophy system,this article revolves around the "free will" theoretical dilemma,builds up the freedom.Then cut to the analysis of Kant's aesthetics of freedom.Through Kant's three major critical for freedom,thus create the freedom in the philosophical system of three different levels(that is the transcendental freedom,practical and aesthetic freedom)and the relationship between each other.But freedom is the thing in itself,we can't know,there is a gap between transcendental freedom and practical freedom.So what do we "know" about freedom? Kant believed that the aesthetic activity is a way to achieve freedom.Aesthetic can connect the transcendental freedom and practice freedom.So the freedom can be found,nature and freedom can be harmoniously unified.Therefore,Kant starts from "transcendental reflection" and analyzes the relationship between the principle of natural purposiveness.From the transcendental,Kant thinks that the discovery of natural purpose,we can find the transcendental principle of aesthetic judgment: "natural purposiveness",the discovery of a priori principle makes aesthetic has the universal inevitability,so aesthetic occur prior veer.Kant's aesthetics is different from traditional objective transcendental characteristics.It is in the transcendental quality that aesthetic and freedom are related.Secondly,Kant says that "beauty is the free game of imagination and understanding",which is the inner freedom of the subject.This requires us to explore the function of transcendental imagination and its relationship with intellectual,aesthetic freedom answers the problem about how possible aesthetic can be a kind of innate comprehensive judgment.Aesthetic freedom as a bridge between transition of transcendental freedom and practice,provides the perceptual basis for freedom.It requires aesthetic freedom has the experience,priori,transcendental aesthetic,three dimensions ability to reflect the harmony of nature and freedom.By analyzing the three levels of freedom in Kant's aesthetics,we can form a holistic grasp of Kant's aesthetic "free concept".Therefore,it can be understood that Kant's aesthetics from pure beauty to dependency beauty,from the analysis of beauty to sublime analysis,and ascribed the ideal beauty to the logic path of dependency beauty.Therefore,the final resting point of Kant's aesthetics lies in the construction of "freedom" as the core of practical rational ontology aesthetics.It makes really connection between the aesthetic and human existence,endows the human transcendental inner freedom.This is the fundamental difference between Kant's aesthetics and traditional objective ontological aesthetics,it's Kant's greatest contribution to aesthetics.
