Since Hegel, the idea of an end of art has become a staple of
aesthetic theory. This book analyzes its role and its rhetoric in
Hegel, Nietzsche, Benjamin, Adorno, and Heidegger in order to
account for the topic's enduring persistence. In addition to
providing a general overview of the main thinkers of post-Idealist
German aesthetics, the book explores the relationship between
tradition and modernity. For despite the differences that
distinguish one philosopher's end of art from another's, all
authors treated here turn the end of art into an occasion to
thematize and to reflect on the very thing that modernism cannot or
should not be: tradition. As a discourse, the end of art is one of
our modern traditions.
