In this video, we discuss Immanuel Kant and his aesthetic categories of the "beautiful" and the "sublime." We discuss how Kant viewed transcendent aesthetic experiences as evidence that there’s something greater than oneself or one's mere animal appetites. We then explore Kant’s idea of "disinterested pleasure" and contemplated art’s relationship with function and utility.
