Papers You are required to write two short papers (1200-1500 words) during the semester. The first paper must be handed in no later than Class 5 and Class 12. Each paper must address the readings for the week that you hand it in. For example, if you hand in a paper for week 10 it must address the readings from week 10, and not readings from week 3. If you want to address readings from previous weeks, that's fine, but you must focus on the readings from the week you hand in your paper. If you are feeling particularly ambitious you can write one long paper (10-12 pages). Do not use Wikipedia. It's neither rigorously checked for factual accuracy, nor written by experts in the field. The responses must consist of your own thoughts, opinions, and criticisms of what we've been reading. Papers are to be double- spaced, typed in 12-point Times New Roman or a similar font with one-inch margins top/bottom and left/right. The crafting of a paper of this length is often more difficult than writing a longer paper, so plan the time it will take to write accordingly. I am looking to see that you understand the material we are covering, therefore try not to bring in outside references unless they are relevant to the argument you are trying to make. Papers are due at the beginning of class. It is up to you to turn them in. You can rewrite one paper. Choose wisely.

AESTHETIC JUDGEMENT

In his book, Critique of Judgement, Immanuel Kant defines subjective judgments by
elaborating on taste. In his argument, Kant analyses taste as the ability to Judge the beautiful.
According to Immanuel Kant, people often react differently to the acquisition of different
objects. Ideally, this is also the case in real life. Particularly when defining success, students are
delighted differently to different grades. One student may be happy with acquiring an 'A' while
another will be glad on attaining a 'B'.
Similarly, a specific person may be delighted by the taste of chicken while another will
find pleasure in golfing. Kant uses this logic to explain why people are happy at different objects.
In one of his arguments, Kant identifies that multiple factors may cause joy in the acquisition of
an object. For example, pleasure may either arise from a sensory trigger, or the entire concept of
an object. If pleasure in the acquisition of an item is solely from a sensory trigger, then, it is
classified as pleasure in the agreeable. Consequently, if the joy is not from a sensory trigger but
the theory of an object, then, it is categorized as a pleasure in the good.
Regardless of the source of delights, Kant notes that both pleasures are coupled with an
interest...
