To judge without preceptive, to judge by universal: modernist comments about Kant

This article aims to show the aesthetic judgments of the Third critique of Kant in relation to the discourses on modern art. In didactic manner, we propose to show the relationship between the Kantians judgments and the artistic modernity, its development and its contemporary criticism. We do not propose, however, a detailed analysis of Kant's philosophy, but expose the various interpretations which this philosophy received when it opened another space for Aesthetic. This article does not show art as "free play" or as "beautiful" and as "finality without end", but investigates the autoreflexivity of the aesthetic judgments. The interpretation of the modern art could be, ultimately, an exercise of communal judgments?
