Opis

Hegel's Aesthetics is the first comprehensive interpretation of Hegel's philosophy of art in English in thirty years. It gives a new analysis of his notorious "end of art" thesis, shows the indispensability of his aesthetics to his philosophy generally, and argues for his theory's relevance today.

Recenzje

Lydia Moland's new book will be the go-to commentary on Hegel's Aesthetics. She combines a comprehensive and systematic treatment of the book as a whole with a sharp sense of contemporary issues about art, its value, and our experience of it. Her reading establishes Hegel's Aesthetics as the single most important book in the history of the philosophy of art — the one that is such that grappling with it enables one to engage more productively with a wider range of topics and problems about art than any other single book. This is a major achievement
