Immanuel Kant on Interest - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 55 Interest/Art/Kant/Gadamer: When Kant asks about the interest that is not empirically, but a priori, given to the beautiful, this question of the interest in the beautiful as opposed to the fundamental determination of the disinterestedness of aesthetic pleasure is a new question and makes the transition from the standpoint of taste to the standpoint of genius. >Taste/Kant, >Genius/Kant. The interesting significance of beauty is the actually moving problem of the Kantian aesthetic. >Aesthetics/Kant, >Art/Kant. Gadamer I 56 This is where Kant's own personal ideas come into play(1). For it is by no means, as we would expect, the art for whose sake Kant goes beyond " uninterested pleasure" ["interesseloses Wohlgefallen"] and asks about the interest in beauty. Nature/Kant: While Kant, who was taught by Rousseau, rejects the general conclusion of the refinement of the taste for beauty at all to the moral feeling, it is a matter of its own with the sense of the beauty of nature according to Kant. That nature is beautiful awakens an interest only in him who has "previously already well-founded his interest in the moral good". The interest in the beautiful in nature is therefore "morally related". By noticing the unintentional conformity of nature to our pleasure independent of all interest, thus a wonderful expediency of nature for us, it points to us as the ultimate purpose of creation, our "moral destiny".(2) 1.
