Kant's philosophy - What makes a genius artist?

Truly beautiful art is always a product of genius to Kant, a gift of nature to create original works which may serve as examples for others to follow. This genius however is made up of four faculty, which only in their interplay produce the work of art. Spirit is the one out of those faculties which constitutes the proper genius – but it is taste which brings it in line.Quote: 0:08Genius is made up of four faculties: 0:331. Intellect: 7:452.
