Judgment and Evaluation

The Critique of Judgment studies three judgments: 'X is beautiful', 'X is sublime', and 'X is an organism', united as products of Reflective Judgment, i. e. as entailing the structure of the positing of some universal proposition, given some particular data.  However, the three are distinguished in important respects.  For, example, each of the first two, but not the third, can also be classified as an 'evaluation'.  Also, while, each of the three claims universal validity, universal communicability is a dynamic factor in only judgments of Beauty.  Indeed, the salient characteristic of some judgments of Sublimity, i. e. that they denote finding safe haven in Reason in the face of fearful Nature, is individual.  On the other hand, that antagonism is also a factor in judgments of Beauty, i. e. insofar as they 'severely clip the wings', as he puts it #50, of powerful Nature, i. e. of Genius.  In such cases, Judgment thus exemplifies a function that Nietzsche attributes to the process of Evaluation--mastery over its object.
