This entirely new translation of Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment follows the principles and high standards of all other volumes in The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant. This volume includes for the first time the first draft of Kant's introduction to the work; the only English edition notes to the many differences between the first (1790) and second (1793) editions of the work; and relevant passages in Kant's anthropology lectures where he elaborated on his aesthetic views. Review: thank you - thank you Review: Introduction of Kant's CPowerJ holds significant clues to his CpureR ... - Introduction of Kant's CPowerJ holds significant clues to his CpureR, the founding work of modern philosophy, CpowerJ being nearer to the A edition, than to the B. He had revised CPureR-A and produced CPureR-B due to critics charging him with psychologism, a fundamental error on the critics' part. No science can be released from its inherent & implied metaphysics, hence metaphysics must be permitted to spill over into psychology as well as other sciences. E.g., today we might be tempted and say that Kant's noumenal object, the thing by itself apart from becoming a phenomenon, can be identified with the physicists' vacuum and with their quantum foam (Wigner).

Translation choices
This is a very readable translation, as is Pluhar's translation and Meredith's earlier translation. A review in The Philosophical Review, Vol III, No 3 recommends it but points to a number of infelicitous translation choices, including 'satisfaction' for Wohlgefallen (can't activate italics) - the reviewer prefers Pluhar's 'liking' (which strikes me as awkward English). Meredith uses 'delight.' Walter Kaufmann in his commentary on The Critique of Judgement uses 'approbation,' which works much better in contexts where Kant is referring to a disinterested pleasure.
