The consciousness of mere formal purposiveness in the play of the cognitive faculties of the subject attending a representation whereby an object is given, is the pleasure itself, because it involves a determining ground of the subject's activity in respect of the enlivening of its cognitive powers, and thus an internal causality (which is purposive) in respect of cognition generally, but without being limited to any determinate cognition, and consequently a mere form of the subjective purposiveness of a representation in an aesthetic judgement.
