Freud and Kant? مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

" Undoubtedly, Kant is not the first person to reflect on aesthetic issues within the framework of, as Lacan puts it, the "characteristic of pleasure," but his formulation regarding the question of taste judgment is echoed in Freud's texts. The analytical strategy toward the beautiful entails the judgment that taste is not a logical matter, but an aesthetic one; aesthetic in the sense that "the determining principle can only be subjective or mental": in order for us to consider something beautiful or not, we do not relate the representation to the object through understanding, but rather connect it through imagination to the subject, and also to feeling, pleasure or lack of pleasure, and dissatisfaction. Here, the question of affect arises: Diderot pre-emptively insists on the point that beauty is a relative matter, whereas according to Kant, beauty does not depend on the objective or material relationship between representations themselves, but rather on the subjective relationship of representations with the feeling of pleasure or dissatisfaction accompanying them—feelings which, in the object itself, are nothing more than a determining factor of a positive or negative affect, which is the product of the representation of that affect within the subject. These issues, formulated in this way, make a revision of one of the most complex pieces in the analysis of the beautiful, the Ninth Critique, necessary—that is, where Kant investigates whether the feeling of pleasure precedes the judgment of the object or is derived from it, and in his view, provides the solution to this key problem for the critique of taste.
