Is beauty synonymous with the aesthetic in Kant?

(1)Experience is constituted by appearances. (2) Appearances are of something else, which accordingly cannot itself appear. (3) All and only functions of experience can be known; these are our categories of the understanding. (4) It follows that the something else--that of which appearances are appearances, whose existence we must grant--cannot be known. In discovering this limitation of reason, reason proves its power to itself, over itself. (5) Moreover, since it is unavoidable for our reason to be drawn to think about this unknowable ground of appearance, reason reveals itself to itself in this necessity also.

wau
i love the vision of parenting implied by this
imagining a scene in a made-for-tv movie:
WIFE: i bought something for Cindy
HUSBAND: (quizzical eyebrows) oh?
WIFE: The Critique of Pure Reason.
HUSBAND: (exhales long whistling sound) Wow. Are you sure? Are you sure she can handle the, you know .. .
WIFE: (knowingly) I know, I know, he's a dinosaur trapped in a tacitly racist, sexist moment of intellectual history. I just think the transcendental grounding Cindy's going to get in the antinomies is worth the risk of exposure to those subsequently exploded ideologies vis a vis a the social horizon implicit in its model of personhood / subjective ground.
HUSBAND: (smiling) well, I guess it's time for The Talk.
WIFE: (tearful, yet smiling) it sure is. Our little girl's growing up.

we have a student who's working on Kant on sex, & it's about as hilarious as Kant gets. iirc the gist is that you should aim for moderation in sex b/c too much sex will tire you out and you won't be able to be productive enough afterwards. or maybe that's the line on gluttony? think it's the same line.

Müller I have, in any case, a troubled relationship to Kant, because at age ten I read Kant for the first time - my father had that lying around - it was the Metaphysics of Morals. And naturally the first chapter I read was the one on onanism. And that disturbed me deeply, because he considered it completely reprehensible and in every respect the worst and the most undignified thing that exists . . .
Kluge What's his argument for that?
Müller It's against the laws of nature, against God's will . . .
Kluge If nature has given human beings the power to procreate, then it's reprehensible not to use it.
Müller Exactly, that troubled me deeply at that time. And then I was so happy when, years later, I read an anecdote to the effect that Kant supposedly masturbated once a week, or even more often, on the same oak tree in the park where he always took his walks. That reassured me. And from then on I was no longer very interested in Kant.
Kluge He had been refuted.
Müller He had been refuted, yes.

kant q:
general logic : transcendental logic :: (propositional and first-order predicate logic as taught in intro courses???) : ?????????
(maybe that's the wrong place to put modern logic, or the wrong way to distribute it across the terms of the analogy??

Kant can suck it. Has anyone ever read Robert Brandom's book on Hegel? Thoughts?
