It is therefore clear, with respect to the two ways of employing the reﬂective power of judgement (the aesthetic and the teleological), that only the judgement which precedes any concept of the object, namely the reﬂective aesthetic judgement, possesses its determining ground in the power of judgement, unmixed with any other faculty of cognition; on the other hand, a teleological judgement on the concept of a natural end, even if it merely employs the principle of the reﬂective rather than the determining power of judgement, can only be made by combining reason with empirical concepts.
