 Sentimentalism’s positive influence on Kant’s work was strongest during the early part of his career (e.g., Walschots 2017 and Sensen 2017). The influence is most pronounced in two of his published works from the 1760s. In Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime (1764), Kant notes and analyzes the various feelings of pleasure or displeasure, and attraction and aversion, people feel to different traits and temperaments in themselves and others (and to different types of literature, objects in nature, etc.). His remarks about morality convey a commitment to some form of sentimentalism, however idiosyncratic. He claims, for example, that the principles of morality are “not speculative rules, but the consciousness of a feeling that lives in every human breast and that extends much further than to the special grounds of sympathy and complaisance” (OFBS 2.217). He describes this as “the feeling of the beauty and the dignity of human nature”, proclaiming that one can “bring about the noble attitude that is the beauty of virtue” only when a person “subordinates” her particular inclinations “to such an enlarged” feeling of the beauty and dignity of human nature (OFBS 2.217). Kant advances similar claims in another work from the period, Inquiry Concerning the Distinctness of the Principles of Natural Theology and Morality (1763), where he distinguishes between the faculty for representing truth and the faculty for experiencing the good, identifying the latter with feeling. “Just as there are unanalyzable concepts of the true,” Kant argues, “so too there is an unanalyzable feeling of the good… One of the tasks of the understanding is to analyze and render distinct the compound and confused concept of the good by showing how it arises from simpler feelings of the good” (I 2:299).
