Spinoza's Theological‐Political Treatise: A Critical Guide

imagination ‘has a way of radiating meaning’ (124) Brancusi does not give a conceptual demonstration of flight; rather, he captures for us the very essence of flight; his work ‘radiates’ the meaning of flight. Importantly, Brancusi never abandons the task of concept exhibition: as Bruno points out, the artistic genius both discovers ideas for a concept and expresses these ideas (124). The creative process itself requires that the artistic use of the imagination be guided by the task of concept exhibition, the very task Kant assigns to judgement. In sum, a full book-length study of Kant’s theory of genius is a welcome addition to the literature on this often-neglected area of Kant studies. And while Bruno’s strategy of interpreting Kant’s theory of genius historically, as forging a path between Gerard and Herder is undermined by the acceptance of some common prejudices about Kant’s views on genius and taste, his analysis as a whole deserves to be read by anyone interested in Kant’s aesthetics.
