Kant and the Feeling of Life

<p><b>Collects together for the first time essays devoted to a detailed historical and systematic discussion of the topic of life in Kant''s work.</b></p><p><i>Kant and the Feeling of Lif</i>e positions Kant''s concept of life as a guiding thread for understanding not only Kant''s approach to aesthetics and teleology but the underlying unity of the <i>Critique of Judgment</i> itself. The "feeling of life," which Kant describes as affecting us in various ways-as animating, enlivening, and quickening the mind-lies at the heart of Kant''s philosophical project, but it has remained understudied for a theme of such centrality. This volume brings together, for the first time, essays focused on the topic of life in Kant''s work, providing a wealth of perspectives and analyses ranging from the <i>Critique of Judgment</i> to Kant''s early aesthetics, his social and political philosophy, his work connected to the body and health, and his moral theory.</p>
