German Aesthetics
Author(s):
German Aesthetics provides English-speaking audiences with accessible explanations of fundamental concepts from the German tradition of philosophical aesthetics. Organized with the understanding that aesthetic concepts are often highly contested intellectual territory, and that the usage and meanings of terms often shift within historical, cultural, and political debates, this volume brings together scholars of German literature, philosophy, film studies, musicology, and history to provide informative and creative interpretations of German aesthetics that will be useful to students and scholars alike.
Review(s):
"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." - Andreas Gailus, Associate Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures, University of Michigan, USA
