DESCRIPTION:This discussion frames a critical assessment of Kant’s thinki
 ng about legal indeterminacy\, as outlined by Arthur Ripstein in his book 
 <i>Force and Freedom</i> (2009)\, which gives a comprehensive recent overv
 iew and further development of Kant’s legal and political philosophy. Ke
 vin Toh first examines whether Kant’s treatment of legal indeterminacy c
 ould be built upon to make progress in contemporary theorizing about the n
 ature of law. He contends that contemporary legal philosophers have strugg
 led to develop a satisfying treatment of legal indeterminacy and related i
 ssues\, which are central to competing conceptions of the nature of law. T
 oh wishes to assess whether Kant offers any conceptual resources for a bre
 akthrough – or at least for some progress. Second\, he also aims to expl
 ore whether Kant’s approach to legal indeterminacy\, at least as reporte
 d by Ripstein\, is compelling in its own right. Guided by a sceptical view
  \, Toh will conclude by sketching an alternative take on legal indetermin
 acy that he believes is more convincing. And he will also argue that there
  is a strand of Kantian thinking\, displayed most clearly in Kant’s disc
 ussion of artistic genius in the <i>Critique of Judgment</i> (1790)\, that
  could be invoked to buttress the alternative approach that he is proposin
