《判斷力批判》中,一個典型的鑒賞判斷可表述為主謂結構。主詞與謂詞通過系詞發生關聯。第三批判之鑒賞理論是康德將認識論之概念工具移至審美領域從而建構起來的,詮釋者熱衷于借助康德的認知理論探究其鑒賞理論。而借助第一批判之思想資源對鑒賞判斷進行語義分析在第三批判的研究中是鮮有的,亦是十分必要的。其不僅觸及了鑒賞理論的基礎問題,還引出了一些新問題。

A typical judgment of taste could be expressed as a subject-predicate structure in Critique of the Power of Judgment. The subject is connected with the predicate by a copula. In the third Critique, however, Kant grounds his theory of taste on the first Critique, from which his views and conceptual apparatus of epistemology have been transferred to a new aesthetic context, and interpreters are inclined to investigate Kant’s theory of taste by virtue of his epistemology. It is uncommon, if also necessary, to conduct in studies of the third Critique a semantic analysis of judgment of taste by referring to the first Critique, because such an approach not onlyrelates to fundamental problems in Kant’s theory of taste but also causes new questions.
