Praise for the 1960 edition:
"This early aesthetic work of KantÉis clearly and simply written and shows a deep understanding of human nature. What emerges from its pages is that far from being a dry-as-dust pedant, Kant was a man of warmth, feeling, and humor, who possessed an acute sensitivity for the different shades of aesthetic experienceÉ. The Observations contains a comprehensive introduction by the translator, as well as notes by him. If it is not the omega of Kant's aesthetic theory, it is certainly the alpha."—W. Mays, Philosophical Books

When originally published in 1960, this was the first complete English translation since 1799 of Kant's early work on aesthetics. More literary than philosophical, Observations shows Kant as a man of feeling rather than the dry thinker he often seemed to readers of the three Critiques.
