Abstract
In Chapter 1 above I suggested that Critical Philosophy is dependent on a three-fold determination of the aesthetic. I want now to suggest that this needs to be supplemented with an account of the multiple thought of teleology in the Critical Philosophy. This chapter is, therefore, a counterpoint to Chapter 1, which, when placed alongside the latter, will present a compelling reason for thinking that the Third Critique has a fundamental and systematic significance which needs to be comprehended in order to be able to assess the internal validity and coherence of the critical project.

Notes
Cf. Werner Pluhar’s bibliography at the end of his translation of the Third Critique which offers a relatively complete summary of recent work published on the Critique of Judgment and indicates the paucity of material on the Critique of Teleological Judgment. It is still the case that John McFarland (1970) Kant’s Concept of Teleology (University of Edinburgh Press: Edinburgh and Chicago)
Thomas Auxter (1982) Kant’s Moral Teleology (Mercer University Press: Macon).
