Sommario/riassunto

The British Aesthetic Tradition: From Shaftesbury to Wittgenstein is the first single volume to offer readers a comprehensive and systematic history of aesthetics in Britain from its inception in the early eighteenth century to major developments in Britain and beyond in the late twentieth century. The book consists of an introduction and eight chapters, and is divided into three parts. The first part, The Age of Taste, covers the eighteenth-century approaches of internal sense theorists, imagination theorists and associationists. The second, The



Age of Romanticism, takes readers from debates over the picturesque through British Romanticism to late Victorian criticism. The third, The Age of Analysis, covers early twentieth-century theories of Formalism and Expressionism to conclude with Wittgenstein and a number of views inspired by his thought.

Sommario/riassunto

Wir leben im Zeitalter des asymptomatischen Menschen. Die Medikalisierung unserer Lebenswelt ist so weit vorangeschritten, dass Krankheitsbegriffe, die unseren Alltag maßgeblich prägen, kaum noch Überschneidungen mit unserer sinnlichen Erfahrung aufweisen. Lebenswissenschaften, Biotechnologien und Versorgungssysteme bestimmen unseren Umgang mit Gegenwart, Körper und Macht. Bildgebende Verfahren und Bioinformatik verwandeln medizinische Prognostik in einen selbstreferenziellen Wert. Hans Vogt zeigt: Nicht mehr nur bestimmte Lebensabschnitte haben Krankheitsstatus. Vielmehr bewegt sich der Mensch der Spätmoderne stets in fließend



ineinander übergehenden Modulationen einer lebenslangen Diagnose.
