Proceedings of the 12th International Kant Congress "Nature and Freedom" in Vienna, September 21-25, 2015

Kant attributes to poetry the highest rank among the fine arts. In the CJ, art is tied to the concept of play and to freedom. Fine art and creativity complement manifestations of the beautiful and the sublime in nature, uniting intentionality of conscious design and unconscious regularity of natural processes to achieve momentary embodiment of a fortuitous purposiveness that resonates with harmonious functioning of our sensual, imaginative and intellectual powers and brings these into free play, strengthening, furthering and expanding their mutual activity, not least by the enjoyment that playful purposiveness in creative implementation of our nature and intellect affords. Poetry’s ability to embody the highest form of human freedom and to communicate that feeling of that freedom, is shown to be the reason for its privileged status. It is, moreover, a specific aspect of human freedom which enables poetry to communicate the highest kind of pleasure: namely, freedom of the imagination
