Note 30 — PART I CRITIQUE OF THE AESTHETICAL JUDGEMENT
J. H. (John Henry) Bernard translation
[Kant probably alludes here to Baumgarten (1714–1762), who was the first writer to give the name of Aesthetics to the Philosophy of Taste. He defined beauty as “perfection apprehended through the senses.” Kant is said to have used as a text-book at lectures a work by Meier, a pupil of Baumgarten’s, on this subject.]
