Kant, Genius, Fine arts, Pre critical period, Crítique of JudgmentAbstract
In this paper, the Kantian doctrine of genius is examined. Firstly, the development of this doctrine during the pre-critical period is studied. It is shown that Kant did restrict the genius’ scope in this period. In the early eighties, genius was already considered only as the maker of fine arts. Secondly, his critical argumentation is studied. The features of genius and its systematic function within the Critique of Judgment are then explained.
