Article Abstract:

Immanuel Kant's 'Critique of Judgment' passed from Europe, through England to India in the mid-19th century, into the programmatic attempts of colonial educators to inculcate taste in their native students. It was thought that a properly aesthetic education would suppress the native's concern with the work's proximity to divine power, a pedagogical preoccupation that came to provide a broader, ideological justification for the foundation of Government Art Schools in colonial India.
