Force is the attempt of reading modern aesthetics as a theory of "force." It does so by showing that modern philosophy begins twice in aesthetics - in two different, even opposite forms: as an aesthetic of the subject and its "faculties" and as an experience and theory of force, which conceives the aesthetic as a play of imagination. Force defines the aesthetic nature of the human, as distinct from the culture of socially acquired practices. "Force" is the concept of a difference - the difference between nature and culture, humanity and subjectivity, play and practice - that makes freedom possible. "The last word of aesthetics is human freedom."
