The Idea of Form by Rodolphe Gasche
The predicate beautiful indicates that something has minimal form and is cognizable. This book explores this concept of form, in particular the role of presentation in what Kant refers to as mere form, which involves not only the understanding, but also reason as the faculty of ideas.
"The book reads very well and does a wonderful job of unfolding and disentangling Kant's dense and very complex argumentsIn addition to philosophers, it will be of interest to those working in literary criticism, art theory, and political theory." -Dennis Schmidt,Villanova University
Rodolphe Gasché is Eugenio Donato Professor of Comparative Literature at SUNY, Buffalo. His most recent book is Of Minimal Things: Studies on the Notion of Relation (Stanford, 1999).
