Singularity as aesthetic happening

reflexive judgment, aesthetic happening, singular and universal, Kant’s political thoughtAbstract
We usually don’t acknowledge social mediation when speaking about subjective experiences in day-to-day life, which relies instead on a unitary and essentialist notion of identity. I initially explore this statement by examining how Kant changes his view on singular-universal relation from the first to the third Critique. A closer look at the reflexive judgment and how it states singularity as a non-conceptualised event follows from that. I then argue in favour of an affinity between an aesthetic notion of singularity, such as found in the third Critique, and the political mobilisation of subjective experiences.Downloads
