Why is Nehamas so against Kant’s views? In other words, what is different about their views that lead to such stark contrast?
It seemed this essay was in response to reading Kant's views and there were just many a way for Nehamas to share his view. In example, the mention of Kant's universal aspect to beauty. Nehamas deeply disagreed with this claim as he brought up the issues of trying to convince others that one person’s sense of beauty is the correct one that should be universally felt. It is very hard to back up claims of universality especially with so many different viewpoints and tastes in the world. How do we know that one path is the true one or not? It is impossible to know, so art ends up being left in the hands of the individual.
