The first ever English translation of Francois Hemsterhuis' early
series of philosophical letters published during the 1760s and
1770s. In this edition, the Letter on an Antique Gemstone, Letter
on Sculpture, Letter on Desires and Letter on Man and his Relations
are published chronologically to gradually reveal Hemsterhuis'
complete systematic vision. They are supplemented with three
introductions: the first by Peter Sonderen pinpoints the
significance of Hemsterhuis' remarkably influential aesthetics; the
second by Jacob van Sluis provides the context to his comprehensive
Letter on Man and his Relations; and the third by Gabriel Trop
focuses on the importance of these writings in the history of
ideas, especially Herder's translation and 'Postscript' to the
Letter on Desires, Diderot's commentary on the Letter on Man and
his Relations and Goethe's incorporation of Hemsterhuis' definition
of beauty into his aesthetic reflections.
