 While much discussion of Kant’s biological teleology has focussed on the Dialectic of Teleological Judgment, rather than the Analytic, there is an excellent discussion of the Analytic of Teleological Judgment in McLaughlin (1990: ch. 1), which sets Kant’s view of organisms in the context of eighteenth-century biology. Huneman 2007 is a useful collection of articles which also set Kant’s views on organisms in historical context. Other discussions of the Analytic’s treatment of organisms as natural purposes include Zumbach (1984), Illetterati (2014), Šustar (2014), and Goy (2014b). Fricke (1990), Guyer (2003b), and Steigerwald (2006) relate Kant’s view of organisms as natural purposes to his views about reflective judgment more generally. Breitenbach (2014) argues that the ascription of purposiveness to organisms is a matter of our regarding organic natural processes as analogous to reason’s intentional activity. An interesting question is raised by the fact that Kant’s conception of an organism appears to come apart from the idea of a living thing, since Kant describes “life” as belonging only to beings with desires. Does Kant, then, not count plants as living things? Nunez (2021) addresses this question by suggesting that, in a sense, plants have desires even though they are not conscious.
