Aesthetics Without Theology

In #58 of the Critique of Judgment, Kant explains how the process of "crystallization" can account for the production of natural Beauty, without the involvement of a "purpose" to serve as a concept in that production.  So, insofar, as "nature gives the rule to" (#46) the human production of Art, a human artist is, likewise guided, purposelessly and without a concept, in the creative process.  Finally, at #61, Kant cites the fundamental characteristics of Beauty as "diversity and unity".  So, these three passages, taken together, provide a basis for a theory of Beauty as objective and concept-less, i. e. 'X is beautiful' denotes the configuration of Diversity and Unity in X.  Thus, Aesthetic Judgment can be neither Determinative nor Reflective, which means, notably, that the Antinomy of Taste can be resolved without recourse to Reflective Judgment.  But, the latter is the entry in the presented theory to the supersensible realm, and, hence, to the theological premises that condition the theory.  So, from within Kant's system, there is the potential for an Aesthetic Theory that is independent of his theological commitments.
