Abstract

The following essay tries to explore from the third of the Kant's Critiques, the ethical-political implications of the aesthetical judgments. Standing on the aesthetical horizon of the transcendental philosophy, I'll try to discover, starting with the cognitively character of the taste judgment, the different ways in which intuitivist and ludic nature participates in the redefinition of the concept of "politics" as in its symbolical reference to the moral goods. Finding communicative vessels between aesthetical judgment and the need of comprehension claimed by the definition of "politics" and of symbolic mediation between the moral goods and beauty, I try to integrate ethics and politics starting from aesthetical judgments. This "third" moment, opens new possibilities for philosophical reflection on politics and values from a methodological, discursive and symbolic wider scope.
