Abstract
Form is one of the challenging terms in the Kant's Critique of Judgment. In his Critique of Pure Reason, he discusses in the transcendental aesthetics of form in relation to a priori conditions of intuition, i.e. time and place. In fact, the temporal and spatial arrangement of sensory intuitions is called form. In Critique of Judgment, Kant considers form to be the most important beautifying factor in aesthetic judgment and introduces terms such as design and composition as its synonyms. It is quite clear that the form presented in the third minute is the same form presented in the transcendental aesthetics in the Critique of Pure Reason. On the other hand, in Kant's sudden turn under the discussion of genius and beautiful art, the content of artistic works or aesthetic ideas becomes more important. In this way, a kind of inconsistency can be seen in the issues raised in the Critique of Judgment. Some commentators believe that a kind of change of perspective is observed in Kant's aesthetics due to the failure to justify the universal validity of the aesthetic judgment. On the other hand, some other commentators believe that by presenting a new and comprehensive definition of form in Kant's aesthetics, it is possible to reconcile the two apparently incompatible parts of Kant's Critique of Judgment. After examining the commentaries, it was found that Alison's view is more justified compared to other views. According to Allison, the form is the arrangement of sensible data in such a way as to create a free harmony of imagination and understanding.
