Karl Heinrich Heydenreich a his Prospect of "Kantian" Aesthetics before the Critique of Judgment Dissertation Mgr. Antonín Policar Abstract The aim of my thesis is to provide an insight into the aesthetic thought of the German Enlightenment philosopher and professor at the Leipzig University Karl Heinrich Heydenreich (1764-1801). I will analyze his various attempts during the 1780s to adapt the German tradition of philosophical aesthetics to the newly emerging transcendental paradigm introduced to philosophy by Immanuel Kant. The main focus will be on the question if Heydenreich's aesthetic writings prior to 1790 can be justifiably considered (as it has been repeatedly, but without convincing arguments pointed out by historians of aesthetics) a predecessor, or even a parallel to Kant's Critique of Judgement.
