Having completed this module, students will be able to:
- Articulate the systematic role of Kant's Third Critique, the Critique of Judgment, both within Kant's own 'critical' philosophy, and as it relates to perennial and historical problems pertaining to aesthetic beauty and natural teleology.
- Analyze some exceptionally difficult texts and concepts, and defend one's interpretation of such texts in detail and with clear arguments.
- Reflect creatively and insightfully on issues raised by modern science in relation to our freedom and to various conceptions of aesthetic beauty and our knowledge of it; as well as on the problems and hopes raised by the purposive but contingent order we find in nature and its products.
- To think clearly and argue persuasively about the significance of the above concepts both in Kant's complex philosophy and in relation to more recent ways of thinking about these matters.
