Kant's analysis and theory of beauty is explained in this book by Salim Kemal. The author clarifies the nature of aesthetic claims, examines the scope of Kant's justification of their validity, and shows how these lead Kant to investigate the relationship between beautiful objects, morality and subjects. In the course of this discussion the author links Kant's theory to contemporary commentaries, including those by Donald Crawford, Jacques Derrida, Paul Guyer, Rudolph Makkreel, Mary McCloskey and Kenneth Rogerson. Other books by this author include "Kant and Fine Art - An Essay on Kant and the Philosophy of Fine Art and Culture", "The Poetics of Alfarabi and Avicenna" and "Object and Language in Art History - Volume 1".
