We argue that, far from being merely synonymous terms for “object”, Kant explicitly distinguishes “Objekt” and “Gegenstand”; moreover, this distinction illuminates certain contours of Kant’s theory of intuition and its relation both to transcendental idealism and to his moral philosophy. After summarizing several previous interpretations of this distinction, we offer textual evidence for the relevance of two perspectival distinctions in the first Critique, between viewing objects (1) either as appearances (whereby Gegenstände are given in intuition) or as things in themselves (whereby empirical Objekte are determined as actually existing), and (2) as two types of Gegenstände (phenomena or noumena). We explain why Kant’s Refutation of Idealism, responding to Jacobi’s criticism of transcendental idealism, refers only to “Gegenstand”, and never mentions “Objekt”, in attempting to overcome the “scandal of philosophy” (Bxxxixn). As such, this distinction serves as a bridge from theoretical to practical philosophy, where “Gegenstand” demarcates the relationship between will and moral action, while “Objekt” is the effect of the will. God, freedom, and immortality are Gegenstände in theoretical philosophy but attain objective reality in practical philosophy through their relation to the highest good, the ultimate Objekt of moral

Kant unwarrantedly downgrades the aesthetic credentials of the mathematical and dynamical sublime, by unduly emphasising not merely its moral significance but also, and especially, the moral ground of the pleasure we take in it and of the communicability of the aesthetic judgment based upon it. I argue that Kant is wrong both in grounding the sublime in morality and our susceptibility to moral ideas, and in grounding sublime pleasure in the awareness of our moral superiority over nature. On Kant’s account, I contend, despite his averments to the contrary, the judgment of the sublime is not purely aesthetic.
