| Abstract
|
:
|
The most neglected sector of Kant's Critical Philosophy is his collec- tion of remarks about biological phenomena in the second part of the Critique of Judgment, the Critique of Teleological Judgment. Finally, the Critique of Teleological Judgment has been placed among the last on that list "of writings thought to formulate Kant's Critical system.
