Kant's Conception of Genius

In a view of a genius as part of criticism of Kant's aesthetic judgment, Kant began to explain what art works are, and by doing so he insisted that "art should be regarded as genius art." (Page 168, "Judgment of Judgment", Emmanuel Kant). Then he continues to prove this and explain the composition of the genius and how to accomplish the work of genius. Kant pointed out that, in order to enable art work, it must have certain rules based on it.

In the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, genius is the ability to independently reach and understand concepts that must be taught by others. For Kant, originality is an essential feature of a genius. This genius is a creative talent that can be described as non imitation. Discussions on the characteristics of Kant's genius are mainly included in "criticism of trial" and are welcomed by Romanticism in the early 19th century. In addition, the theory of genius in Schopenhauer, in particular the talent and the theory of liberation from detention, comes directly from Kant's first criticism paragraph.

The explanation of Kant's genius points to the romanticism of the 19th century, but verses 48 and 50 emphasize that genius will only produce great art when it tastes. In the absence of "academic justification" that restricts elements of the form of art work, Genius has no meaning of risk. However, genius does not communicate according to established customs, but also includes the originality of "being blessed with artistic rules naturally". In verse 49, Kant said that the soul or soul is not a matter of formality but content matter. When the work suggests that the imagination of the audience "spreads to many similar exhibits", the spirit will exist, as a result the works have rich associations, but they are encapsulated in a specific concept or definition It can not be changed. In short, a genius needs natural talent to express the idea that "I can not speak" through imagination.

Kant explains that the genius has four parts. The first part of a genius says it is a genius. Genius can neither learn nor explain, it has essentially it. The second part of the genius is whether something is copied and liked by others. Thirdly, genius can not explain it, it just ended. A genius can not teach it or explain in stages how things are done. The fourth and last step is a way without genius. Because imagination is also necessary, talent is not enough
