In this work Kant seeks to establish the a priori principles underlying thefaculty of judgment just as he did in his previous critiques of pure andpractical reason.The first part deals with the subject of our aestheticsensibility we respond to certain natural phenomena as beautiful says Kantwhen we recognize in nature a harmonious order that satisfies the minds ownneed for order. The second half of the critique concentrates on the apparentteleology in natures design of organisms. Kant concludes that our minds areinclined to see purpose and order in nature and this is the main principleunderlying all of our judgments.Although this might imply a supersensibleDesigner Kant insists that we cannot therefore prove a supernatural dimensionor the existence of God. Such considerations are beyond reason and are solelythe province of faith. «
