| Abstract |
|
This study focuses on the awareness of a conceptual clarification of the ability to present humanistic qualities with the basis of an increasing demand for ‘humanistic qualities’ in the current educational field. The author notes the concept of ‘aesthetic judgment’ as ‘reflective judgment’ from Kant’s third Critique in order to philosophically justify this proposition while assuming the ability as the ability of ‘judgment’. This is in relation to the subjective value-assessment ability which means that the ability to judge ‘individual’ and ‘special’ matters are not easily subordinated to certain degree of truths or norms. ‘Aesthetic judgment’ appeals to our subjective emotions and has a universal characteristic that communicates with others. Therefore, this study’s main argument emphasizes Hannah Arendt’s explanation of Kant’s assertion that the ability to judge human affairs on the foundation of aesthetic judgment. In particular, Arendt’s unique understanding of the notion of ‘common sense’ and ‘enlarged mentality’ interpreted by Kant will be discussed to prove that the ability to recognize the various aspects of human are not reduced to the relation of ‘means - ends’ as humanistic qualities. The interpretation of humanity is associated with the creation of ‘public realm’ in-between worldliness and humans that can sustain the world through culture and art, thus this can be conceptually related to the political world and can produce an easier approach to art education than ethical education. |
