Judgment, Imagination, and Politics: Themes from Kant and Arendt

This volume brings together essays on the nature of judgement. Drawing from themes in Kant’s Critique of Judgement and Hannah Arendt’s discussion of judgement from Lectures on Kant’s Philosophy , these essays deal with: the role of imagination in judgement; judgement as a distinct human faculty; the nature of judgement in law and politics; and, the many puzzles that arise from the enlarged mentality , the capacity to consider the perspectives of others that aren’t in Kant treated as essential to judgement.
