Kant's Aesthetic Theory by David Berger
A monograph on an overlooked aspect of Kant's aesthetic theory, presenting an approach to one of modern philosophy's greatest works. It examines Kant's various attempts to distinguish beauty from agreeableness. It argues that the real interest of Kant's distinction between beauty and agreeableness is ultimately epistemological.-

"Berger presents a lively, fresh and philosophically engaging interpretation of Kant's theory of the beautifulHe sheds a new light on some of the most significant interpretative and philosophical issues raised by Kant's aesthetics, and he engages productively with broader questions regarding the relation between aesthetic and cognitive norms. The book will be of interest not only to Kant scholars but also to readers interested in aesthetics and in the connection between aesthetics and the study of mind and language." - Professor Hannah Ginsborg, University of California Berkeley, USA
