| Sumario: | This article proposes a critical analysis of Kant’s conception of aesthetic play as harmony. It advances the hypothesis that Kant subordinates the free and vitalizing character of aesthetic play to the requirement of its harmonious alignment with the fundamental structure of judgment. By examining this procedure, we argue that the harmonious conception of play operates on the basis of a restricted freedom—a restriction that extends into Kant’s political thought, rendering the concept complicit with political and social mechanisms of discipline and subjectivation. The analysis focuses on three key moments in the Critique of Judgment where Kant examines the relationship between the faculties of the transcendental subject: aesthetic judgment concerning the beautiful, the sublime, and aesthetic ideas. This examination aims to demonstrate how the vitalizing force of the imagination is incorporated into Kantian aesthetics only in specific, circumscribed ways. Finally, the article engages critically with contemporary reinterpretations of Kant’s concept of play, arguing for the importance of a discordant conception of play in order to fully grasp the critical potential of aesthetic experience. |
