摘要：Kant¡¯s Critique of Judgment is a storehouse full of provocative concepts and structures, which is why, since at least the 1970¡¯s, many contemporary Kant scholars and philosophers of other sorts have attempted to mine and explicate this text to varying degrees of success. Among these concepts and structures, there are a few that continue to evade complete elucidation. One of the most well tread, albeit still contested, grounds that appears in the third Critique is ¡°purposiveness without purpose.¡± Picking up from some recent interpretations of Kantian aesthetics, I contend that it is possible to discover at least three forms of purposiveness without purpose in aesthetic judgments. A second concept, the sensus communis, I will contend, is as important as the three sites of purposiveness without purpose. In fact, I will show how the sensus communis, in its ternary form, can be mapped onto the three sites of purposiveness without purpose; the two concepts cannot be separated. Finally, this mapping will allow for an attempt at what I could refer to as an ¡°inconstruction¡± of the Deduction of Aesthetic Judgments that will engage many of the long-standing questions surrounding this text.
