| Research Abstract |
The aim of this research is to place Kant's theory of judgment in his transcendental philosophy as a whole, and to make clear the important relationship between judgment and being. Most of the past studies of Kant had a tendency to deal with his theory of judgment only in "Transcendental Analytic" as a part of critique of Pure Reason. But this interpretation limited to his epistemology misses the philosophical significance of it. Our research criticizes such an interpretation from the following two points of view, and, as a result, we want to insist that his theory of judgment has an ontological significance.
From the first point of view we consider it in not only "Analytic" but also "Dialectic" of Critique of Pure Reason, and reveal an intimite relationship between the judgment and the idea of reason. Namely, a certain judgment is not independent of other judgments, but consists in the relation to all other and furthermore to the ideal totality.
From the second point of view we will turn our attention to the faculty of the reflective judgment in the theory of taste and art of Critique of Judgment and make the judgment stand out as an expression of the vividness and diversity of nature. Our consideration on the reflective judgment in the appreciation or creation of the beauty will throw light over not only the relation between the judgment and the idea, but also the creative side of it.
