Extraordinary and brilliant.—Isobel Armstrong, Modern Philology

Beautiful…The specialist as well as the novice who would like to learn more about Kant’s aesthetic theory and the stakes of aesthetics in general will find much to ponder and savor in Chaouli’s beautiful book.—Peter Gilgen, Goethe Yearbook

An eloquent yet honest apology for Kant's third Critique…opens up countless avenues for inquiry and gives us reasons to return to the third Critique attentive, once again, to what is remarkable in it.—Samantha Matherne, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Chaouli offers an original interpretation of the third Critique. He reads Kant with incredible care, and his analysis is remarkable for its way of drawing out and thinking through the perplexities and paradoxes that emerge over the course of Kant’s argument.—Samuel Stoner, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism

Wonderful…Chaouli’s book neither ignores the rich literature on Kant’s aesthetics, nor does it allow engagement with that literature to take over or to replace the work that could be done only by its own sincere and open responsiveness to Kant’s writing…[this] book preserves the best instincts of philosophy.—Katalin Makkai, SGIR Review

Provides the reader with a scrupulous, methodical analysis of the central arguments in Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgement.—Moran Godess-Riccitelli, Kantian Review

Provides a novel approach to Kant’s influential and famously difficult Critique of Judgement…simultaneously lively in tone and deeply informative in content….highly recommended.—L. Bernhardt, Choice

Chaouli’s book is an original and important contribution to the literature on Kant’s Critique of Judgment. It will appeal to scholars of literature and art as well as philosophers, and it is written in such a way that it could benefit both advanced readers and students at various levels.—Eli Friedlander, Tel Aviv University

This is an incisive, distinctive, and adventurous set of reflections on and with what is arguably the most important and influential work in aesthetic theory. As unpretentious as it is learned, Chaouli’s study worries and wonders along with the text, engaging and enlightening readers at every turn.—Ian Balfour, York University

Thinking with Kant’s Critique of Judgment should become a standard companion to first-time and second-time readings of Kant’s third Critique. It is a rarity in Kant scholarship: an enthusiastic guidebook. In this inspired commentary, Kant’s book becomes a set of affective provocations that call for equally charged responses from today’s students and artists. Through a motivated psychological language portraying the work as layered in ever more ‘profound’ and ‘volatile’ strata, it uncovers in this influential text new objects of desire and zeal.—Paul North, Yale University
