Abstract
This study aims at evaluating the aesthetic views of Immanuel Kant. The experience
of the beautiful and that of the sublime are discussed. The experience of the beautiful
is analysed with respect to the faculties of imagination and understanding and the
notion of free play. The experience of sublime is defined as the moment of facing the
transcendental I as the original condition of all possible human experience.
