    Supports→Moritz's claim that Kant's conception of beauty is essentially the same as Wolff's and Moritz's own is false

    Kant's Critique of Judgment explicitly distinguishes aesthetic judgment from teleological judgment, insisting that beauty's purposiveness is felt, not cognized as objective natural order.

    Key Terms

    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.).
    Critique of Judgment(as the specific work where Kant defended immanent teleology)
    One of Kant's major works that explores how we judge things as beautiful and how living organisms seem to have built-in purposes without needing an external designer.
    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.
    Objective natural order(as what beauty is NOT, according to Kant)

    The real, factual way that nature is actually organized and how things actually work in the world, independent of what anyone thinks or feels about it.
    Purposiveness(the third quality attributed to Geist in the statement)
    The quality of acting with a goal or purpose in mind; doing things intentionally rather than randomly or by accident.
    cognized(as used in epistemology (the study of knowledge))
    Understood or known by the mind; when you cognize something, you grasp it intellectually rather than just sensing it.
    teleological judgment(A topic Kant had never previously linked to aesthetics)
    The judgment of both organisms within nature and of nature as a whole, linked by Kant to aesthetic judgment in the third Critique
