David James develops the idea that these transcripts show that Hegel was primarily interested in understanding art as an historical phenomenon and, more specifically, in terms of its role in the ethical life of various peoples. This involves relating Hegel's aesthetics to his philosophies of right and history, rather than to his logic or metaphysics. The book thus offers a thorough re-evaluation of Hegel's aesthetics and its relation to his theory of objective spirit, exposing the ways in which Hegel's views on this subject are anchored in his reflections on history and on different forms of ethical life 410 0$aContinuum studies in philosophy. 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aHistory$xPhilosophy 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $2Philosophy: aesthetics 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aHistory$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 676 $a700.1 700 $aJames$b David$f1966-$01477240 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778496403321 996 $aArt, myth and society in Hegel's aesthetics$93773410 997 $aUNINA
