Resumen: The aim of the present study is to contribute to the debate on the relevance of the judgment of taste to the whole of the argumentative economy of Kant’s critical project. The chosen perspective here is the argument that one can see this judgment as a clue to the validity of our attempt to systematize a posteriori cognition. First, the study presents Kant’s acknowledgment that it is not possible for us a priori to be sure of the success of this attempt, given the great diversity that nature’s forms might present. A priori we can go as far as presupposing this possibility, either in the form of the regulative use of theoretical reason’s principle of completeness or in the form of the heautonomous principle of the technique of nature, which governs the activity of the reflecting power of judgment. In each case, there is an effort toward systematization made by the faculty that is featured. Therefore, the analysis of the first proposal occupies the second moment of the study; and the analysis of the second proposal, the third. Afterward, the study then debates the judgment of taste within this theme. This judgment, which Kant classifies as a reflecting aesthetic judgment, is the vivification of the faculty of pleasure by means of the harmonious free play of the faculties of the understanding and imagination, as a result of one’s contact with a representation whose conceptual determination is in this case irrelevant. Because this free play corresponds to the relation necessary to cognition in general, this judgment is able to claim subjective universality; consequently, this judgment also presents formal purposiveness: the interpretation, also with a subjective character, that the beautiful object is favorable to the labors of the power of judgment.
