In this illuminating study of Kant's theory of imagination and its role in interpretation, Rudolf A. Makkreel argues against the commonly held notion that Kant's transcendental philosophy is incompatible with hermeneutics. The charge that Kant's foundational philosophy is inadequate to the task of interpretation can be rebutted, explains Makkreel, if we fully understand the role of imagination in his work. In identifying this role, Makkreel also reevaluates the relationship among Kant's discussions of the feeling of life, common sense, and the purposiveness of history.

Putting the Third Critique in Proper Perspective,
By A Customer
This review is from: Imagination and Interpretation in Kant: The Hermeneutical Import of the Critique of Judgment (Paperback)
This work has by now garnered an immense amount of positive reaction in Kant scholarship. See for example the books of Salim Kemal, Kirk Pillow, and G. Felicitas Munzel. Makkreel's work is important not merely for situating Kant in the hermeneutical tradition, but also for placing Kant's account of judgments and sublimity in the context of his account of reflective judgment.With the tie to reflective judgment, Makkreel corrects many of the misleading aspects of Paul Guyer's readings, which, while giving reflective judgment its place to some extent, nontheless significantly downplay its importance, thus obscuring the import of Kant's account of beauty. Allison's new book makes a similar correction to Makkreel's, but, unlike Makkreel, does not really show the meaning of the tie of aesthetic reflective jugment to reflective judgment in general.
