Summary/Abstract: The article considers the new autonomy of the power of judgment in Kant’s Critique of Judgment, in which the question is raised as to the a priori principle proper to the reflective power of judgment. However, the new area of the power of judgment assigns rights over the subjective side of human activity and thus it deduces and posits the character of aesthetic purposiveness in the work of the faculties of cognition. The article discusses the definition and structure of pure aesthetic judgment – its object, predicate, relation and universal validity. The transcendental deduction of aesthetic judgments is justified not in relation to the feeling of pleasure, but in its guiding role and connection with the categories and ideas in the ideal realm of the aesthetical.
