Coles Aesthetical and Philosophical Essays: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This volume traces Friedrich Schiller's and his successors' search for beauty as a bridge between sense and spirit, nature and freedom, art and truth. Beginning with a forceful defense of aesthetics as a serious philosophical science, it argues that art is no idle illusion but a revelatory power that can disclose universal truth more deeply than ordinary life or history. The essays survey major theories of beauty, distinguish the beautiful from the sublime, and define beauty as a living harmony of unity and variety. The book then follows German aesthetic thought from Schiller's ideal of aesthetic education to Hegel's system, where art, religion, and philosophy answer humanity's longing for wholeness. Beauty appears as free, self-sufficient, and serene, while artistic ideality depends on genius, individuality, and moral force. Alongside this philosophy runs a literary history of German poetry, from medieval religious legend and chivalric song to decline, Reformation upheaval, and revival through Winckelmann and Lessing. The closing meditations on dignity and grace show how moral freedom becomes visible in the body, in suffering, movement, love, and self-command. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
