The book that made aesthetics a full part of philosophy: a judgment of beauty is disinterested, claims everyone's agreement without a concept, and finds purposiveness without a purpose. Its pages on the sublime and on genius are as weighty. The prose is hard going, but nearly every later theory of art begins by agreeing or quarrelling with it.
