In Wilde's works, especially the art-theoretical essays, aptly summarized under the title Intentions, his desire for tolerance and artistic freedom runs through. This claim to autonomy for the art sphere is based on philosophical studies written a century earlier by Immanuel Kant in his Critique of Judgment. Kant analyzes the specificity of aesthetic experience and distinguishes it from theoretical knowledge and morality, emphasizing its freedom from purpose and thus paving the way for the autonomy of the beautiful. This final thesis shows to what extent Immanuel Kant's analysis of beauty is taken by Oscar Wilde as a starting point to liberate art and artists from social demands and to plead for more tolerance and freedom. With the mixture of art and life, especially with regard to his own person and homosexual inclination, Wilde seems to play and provoke consciously. Problems that arise when theory and practice are mixed and taken to extremes as a kind of hedonistic concept are theoretically dealt with in
