From the publisher

Shells, leafwork, picture frames, hummingbirds, wallpaper decorations, hems of clothing--such are the examples Kant's Critique of Judgment offers for a "free" and purely aesthetic beauty. Menninghaus's book demonstrates that all these examples refer to a widely unknown debate on the arabesque and that Kant, in displacing it, addresses genuinely "modern" phenomena.
