La ocasión: la presencia de un hombre de mediana edad, con un comportamiento extravagante, al que acompañaba un niño en estado semisalvaje.

While the Critique of Judgment deals with matters related to science and teleology, it is most remembered for what Kant has to say about aesthetics. Kant calls aesthetic judgments "judgments of taste" and remarks that, though they are based in an individual's subjective feelings, they also claim universal validity.

Kant's Prolegomena, although a small book, is without doubt the most important of his writings, writes the translator, Paul Carus.
Prolegomena means, literally, prefatory or introductory remarks, and it furnishes us with a key to his main work, The Critique of Pure Reason; in fact, it is an extract containing all the salient ideas of Kant's system. It approaches the subject in the simplest and most direct way and is therefore best adapted as an...
