Most studies deny that Kritik der Urteilskraft played a significant role in the early reception of Kant's philosophy in England. In this paper, I examine the notebooks, letters and lectures of several members of British medical and scientific institutions to tell a different story. Drawing from the writings of Thomas Beddoes, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Joseph Henry Green and William Whewell, I identify a line of reception in which Kant's critique of judgement's power of reflection was used to establish the consilience of the mind's anticipation of systematic order and the organization of natural bodies. Each discovered in Kant's Kritik der Urteilskraft a shared principle for judgements of taste and scientific inquiry, made available through the mind's affective response to the appearance of contingent order in nature. Their writings, I contend, evince a more sophisticated reception of Kant's philosophy in England than has hitherto been recognized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
