Abstract
The possibility of understanding Kant’s aesthetics as a teleological aesthetic is discussed. This conjecture supposes that both the experience of the beautiful and the epistemic experience of the subject require a direction beyond the mere field of sensible form or natural organisms. This supersensible horizon tends to be protected precisely by the principle of finality. Thus, the purpose of the third Critique seems to be to find that transcendental structure that functions as a metaphysical and methodological justification of teleology, which has virtually become the third branch of philosophy.
