Kant and the Ends of Aesthetics

'Banham's book is, without a doubt, an important contribution to the study of Kant's theory of judgement...The intensity of focus and density of architectonic detail in Banham's writing are impressive...Those studying Habermas's position on modernity would particularly benefit from reading this book, for Habermas seeks to orientate the aesthetic as the realm of experience which overcomes the conceptual divisions exercised by modern thought. Here, in Banham's reading of Kant, we find the aesthetic already being prepared for this role.' - Clive Cazeaux, Kantian Review
