But you know, the chinese LA scholars don’t cares about Kant, they care only whether harmony is the word that announced by the government, or even the previous chairman. sad

I focus on these problems as well, and especially on the traditional chinese garden history and theory.
Are you the writer of Garden History, and translated in chinese by two professors from BJFU?

The following text on ‘The Harmony of the Imagination and Understanding in Kant’s Aesthetics’ says of our ability to conceptualise and perceive objects;

“..when these two faculties of imagination and understanding work well together, what results is harmony. Harmony of these two faculties is required for perception to work at all. Otherwise, if the imagination delivers to the understanding a set of empirical data too disparate to be able to be subsumed under concepts, the understanding fails to make sense of empirical sensation and conceptualize via its concepts. What results is not perception of objects, but a perception of something indeterminable, confusing, and meaningless.”
