Aesthetic judgment(Lyotard's appropriation of Kantian aesthetic judgment for the problem of justice.): Judgment that does not produce denotative knowledge about a determinable state of affairs, but refers to the way our faculties interact as we move among modes of phrasing (denotative, prescriptive, performative, political, cognitive, artistic, etc.).
Hegel(as the main philosopher referenced in this statement): Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher (1770-1831) who argued that reality and human thought develop through a process of contradiction and resolution, constantly evolving toward greater understanding.
Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
