Hegel on art and aesthetics

Allen Speight

pp. 687-703

Hegel's approach to questions of art and beauty in his Lectures on Fine Art takes into consideration two competing narratives about aesthetic thought and its origin — one deriving from classical Greece and the other emerging in the eighteenth century — while offering an idealist stance from which the two can be synthesized. The synthesis which Hegel attempts raises a number of interesting questions about the relation between art and aesthetics and the relevant histories of those disciplines.
