    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Individuals differ in their response to matter but not to form
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Pure judgments of taste are restricted to form alone
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.What is grounded solely in form admits no individual variation
      ?

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations show that no formal principle determines its own application uniformly across different subjects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Even if pure formal properties exist, individuals must still apply aesthetic concepts to them, and this application is irreducibly shaped by training, culture, and form of life.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Unanimity in applying a formal standard therefore cannot be guaranteed by the standard's formality alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The distinction between form and matter in aesthetic perception cannot be cleanly maintained, as Herder argued that sensory content is inseparable from formal structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If form and matter are phenomenologically entangled, judgments ostensibly about form always smuggle in variable material responses, undermining the universality claim.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Herz’s Considerations from Speculative Philosophy, published at the age of twenty-four, does not purport to be more than a German paraphrase of Kant’s Latin dissertation, but it goes beyond Kant’s published work on a number of points in the treatment of space, time, and things in themselves. It also adds a Mendelssohnian argument about the simplicity of the soul, and, most surprisingly, includes a digression on aesthetic judgment that anticipates a central argument of his subsequent Essay on Tas
