Kant's philosophy - What is genius?

Genius for Kant is a natural gift which cannot be learned. That's why in the strict sense only the artist is a genius, not the scientist, because the latter can teach his discoveries to others. It is a special creative originality, whose products can serve as exemplary to others.Quote: 0:00 To judge art taste is enough, but to produce it genius is needed: 0:34Genius is original spirit: 10:27The originality of the genius is exemplary: 31:11The beautiful work of art seems like a product of nature: 1:06:18Genius is a talent and can't be learned: 1:16:13Genius produces the content of the work of art, not its form: 1:32:23Thanks: 1:42:28Overiew of art according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/art-according-to-Kant.jpgAbout genius Kant speaks most thoroughly and systematically in the respective passages of the Critique of the Power of Judgment: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/48433/pg48433-images.html.
