Gadamer Kant ízlés-, szépség- és művészetfelfogásáról

Gadamer deals in detail with the idea of taste and beauty in Kant’s aesthetics. Gadamer considers at the Kant criticism a radical subjectivism of the aesthetics and the elimination of the truth-validity of the work of art; however he provides an in-depth analysis of the concepts of judgement, taste, beauty, art and the genius. Gadamer’s aim with the analysis of Kant’s criticism is to moderate Kant’s conceptual “walking around” to the “right degree”. In my paper, I reflect on these Kant’s interpretations of Gadamer. In advance I demonstrate briefly that between a pre-critical study of Kant (Beobachtungen über das Gefühl des Schönen und Erhabenen – 1764) and the Kritik der Urteilskraft we can find a certain continuity, e.g. with regard to aesthetical autonomy, the concept of beauty and magnificent, the role of non-artistic beauty, the aesthetics as reception- and feeling-aesthetics.
