Book Synopsis
The predicate "beautiful" indicates that something has minimal form and is cognizable. This book explores this concept of form, in particular the role of presentation in what Kant refers to as mere form, which involves not only the understanding, but also reason as the faculty of ideas.

Trade Review
"The book reads very well and does a wonderful job of unfolding and disentangling Kant's dense and very complex arguments. In addition to philosophers, it will be of interest to those working in literary criticism, art theory, and political theory." -Dennis Schmidt,Villanova University

Table of Contents
One principle more; transcendentality, in play; on mere form; presenting the maximum; absolutely great; interest and disinterest; the arts, in the nude; hypotyposis.
