Recenzii

A vital contribution to the field of philosophical aesthetics and its implications for the study of art, of societies, and of sensual perception; the broad intellectual horizon and elegant reasoning of its entries make it a genuine pleasure to read.
How do we think and judge beyond established rules? The contributions of this volume articulate with great verve the intellectual and political implications of this core question that has been animating German aesthetics since the 18th century. This is an important book for anybody interested in art and its power to imagine alternative modes of thinking, living, and governing.
Taking systematic and historical perspectives, the essays in this volume explore numerous concepts that feature prominently in German aesthetics, such as imagination, mimesis, beauty, the sublime, and irony. Drawing on foundational writings by Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Adorno, the authors cover a wide spectrum of the arts, including literature, music, painting, and film. Readers will also find topics rarely treated elsewhere, such as 'saying/showing' and 'the end of art.' This is an excellent book that will provide Anglophone teachers and students with informed insights into aesthetics from the eighteenth century through the present.
