1 Aesthetics and Cognition in Kant s Critical Philosophy This volume explores the relationship between Kant s aesthetic theory and his critical epistemology as articulated in the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of the Power of Judgment. The essays, written for this volume, revise our understanding of core elements of Kant s epistemology, such as his notions of discursive understanding, experience, and objective judgment. They also demonstrate a rich grasp of Kant s critical epistemology that enables a deeper understanding of his aesthetics. Collectively, the essays reveal that Kant s critical project, and the dialectics of aesthetics and cognition within it, are still relevant to contemporary debates in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and the nature of experience and objectivity. The book also yields important lessons about the ineliminable yet problematic place of imagination, sensibility, and aesthetic experience in perception and cognition. Rebecca Kukla is an associate professor of philosophy at Carleton University in Ottawa and has been a visiting professor at Georgetown University, The Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Victoria. The author of Mass Hysteria: Medicine, Culture, and Mothers Bodies, she has published articles on epistemology, aesthetics, eighteenth-century philosophy, philosophy of medicine, and bioethics, in Philosophical Studies, Journal of Aesthetics & Art Criticism, Inquiry, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, and Hypatia, among other journals.

10 Acknowledgments This book took several years and the kind and intelligent help of many people in order to come to fruition. My first debt is to the late Terence Moore, former philosophy editor at Cambridge University Press, who accepted my book proposal and helped shape the manuscript. His untimely death is a great loss for the scholarly world. And three cheers for Beatrice Rehl for ably taking up the project in his place. I offer my deep thanks to the contributing authors for letting me publish their wonderful work and for their patience with the project and especially to Richard Manning, who helped with every stage of the project, and did so with his usual immense philosophical insight and generosity. I owe an enormous dept to Timothy Brownlee for his tireless and exceptionally able work on the index and on manuscript corrections. Many thanks also to the students in my 2000 Kant seminar at Carleton University, especially Jamie Kelly, as well as to Amy Lund, John Reuscher, Timothy Rosenkoetter, Suma Rajiva, and Sergio Tenenbaum, for generous help and invaluable conversation and guidance. xiii
