Kant's philosophy - What are pleasure and pain?

The human mind is divided into three faculties according to Kant: Between the faculty of cognition and the desiring faculty there is our faculty of feeling pleasure and displeasure. What this is all about is a central, though maybe also the most difficult question of anthropology for Kant. And he describes three kinds of pleasure, for between the animalistic sense pleasure in the pleasant and the spiritual intellectual pleasure in the good, he describes a specific aesthetical pleasure in the beautiful and sublime. To examine this pleasure is his goal in the Critique of the Power of Judgment. Quote: 0:08 The feeling of pleasure and displeasure in Kant's thinking: 0:41 Feelings are representations relating to the subject, not to the object as are the sensations: 6:06 Feelings always come with pleasure and displeasure: 16:37 The feeling of pleasure is a representation, which determines us to its own preservation: 21:30 Pleasure is a feeling of enhancement, displeasure a feeling of obstruction of our vitality: 27:28 The connection between pleasure and courage: 46:25 The three kinds of pleasure: 52:40 A) Sense pleasure: Delight in the pleasant: 58:58 C) Intellectual pleasure: Approval of the good: 1:34:24 B) Aesthetical pleasure: Liking of the beautiful and sublime: 1:51:00 Aesthetical empiricism: 1:53:13 Aesthetical rationalism: 2:03:28 Kant's sympathetic conciliation of the dispute between empiricism and rationalism through his critical rationalism: 2:10:25 Thanks: 2:23:51 Overview over the faculties of the mind and the critiques according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/faculties-of-the-mind-and-critiques-according-to-Kant.jpg Overiew of sensuality according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/sensuality-according-to-Kant.jpg Kant deals with pleasure and displeasure mainly in his anthropology.
