Description
Summary:At the third section of the “Analytic of the Beautiful” of the Critique of Judgement, Kant establishes the difference between pure judgements of taste and judgements of adherent beauty. The Author contends that the definitions presented there are problematic when one attempts to reconcile them with judgements of artistic beauty. In principle, every work of art supposes certain concepts and contents that determine it as an artistic object, so it would not be possible to formulate pure judgements of taste in their regard. In order to overcome these difficulties, it becomes necessary to articulate the ideas in relation to the nature of artistic production that Kant presents in the sections on Fine Art and the Genius, where the concept of “aesthetic ideas” (understood as internal intuitions of artistic objects) is introduced. Finally, the debate on landscape and gardening in the 18th century allows us to understand how pure judgements of taste can be made from two different ways of presenting aesthetic ideas in an artistic genre. === En el tercer momento de la “Analítica de lo bello” de la Crítica de la facultad de Juzgar, Kant establece la diferencia entre juicios puros de gusto y juicios de belleza adherente. A juicio del autor, las definiciones presentadas resultan problemáticas a la hora de intentar conciliarlas con juicios de belleza artística. En principio, toda obra de arte supone conceptos y contenidos que la determinan como objeto artístico, por lo que no sería posible emitir juicios puros de gusto sobre ellos. Es necesario articular las ideas en relación a la naturaleza de la producción artística presentadas en las secciones sobre arte bello y el genio, donde se introduce el concepto de “ideas estéticas” (entendidas como intuiciones internas de los objetos artísticos), para superar aquellas dificultades. Por último, el debate sobre paisaje y jardinería en el siglo XVIII permite entender cómo se puede emitir juicios estéticos puros a partir de dos formas distintas de presentar ideas estéticas en un género artístico.
