Kant's Aesthetics | Analytic of the Beautiful and the Sublime

[Reading_Uncomfortably]

So helpful, thank you! The best video I’ve found in helping to break this down into more digestible chunks so that I have the foundational knowledge on which to build a greater understanding in reading Kant.

so good

Kant's the sublime and Manndelbrot's the fractal are the same .
That's the secret of science and aesthetics .

Hey! Amazing video! Is this part of any course one can take? Judging by what you said in the end of the video it looks like there's a structured teaching happening.

Contrary to popular belief, beauty is not entirely in the eye of the beholder: if i put a picture of a baby next to a picture of poop—and i ask a million people to tell me which is more beautiful, i would be willing to bet money that the grand majority would choose the picture of the baby.
Further evidence of this—is the "color emotive response, " which, for example, states "The emotion ratings showed that saturated and bright colors were associated with higher arousal. The hue also had a significant effect on arousal, which increased from blue and green to red."
Modern day society has villified aesthetics. The relate beauty to vanity, arrogance, and shallow mindedness. I believe there exists an objective side to beauty, and a rational explanation for its effects. I also suspect there is a correlation between order and beauty, that humans apperceive beauty in orderly things, such as rythm, symmetry, fractality, and meter.
I do not look down upon Narcissus for admiring his own beauty.

Perhaps when the assholes that are responsible for mass surveillance install eye trackers on our phones, they will accidentally discover an objective and rational theory of beauty.

If only there were no music in the background. Your lecture is very thorough yet easily understandable, and you have an enjoyable voice, but the music in the background is just distracting. It’s making it difficult to keep my focus. It still gets a like, just something to consider in the future:)

I've enjoyed your way of presenting this .. your voice and the music are on point for an ADHD brain like mine.
Most comes across as felt, not just read .. his purpose seems was to hand craft a raw language into a daug to bake the illusion of been undertood.

the music is a little bit too loud. However, a huge thank u.

Really good work. I’ve studied the three Critiques at the master’s level and this is a beautiful exposition on working within oneself in relation to ‘employing’ the faculties as an architecture of your own experience while reading, feeling and thinking with Kant.

Which English translation of Kant's critiques would you recommend?

Loved this video! Thank you for introducing this subject 🙏

As compared to Burke, I find this pretty hard to understand

And this demonstrates, as all writers both of any philosophical thinkers, and Kant, in particular show the prejudices of every person as both having a perspective and a message to convey, both explicitly and implicitly. And this gives the continually live example of the human experience. And it is rich, for indeed it includes all that is and every will be of what is human, in its basest and most degraded to its most sublime and Divine.
