This is the first of two volumes of the only English edition of
Hegel's Aesthetics, the work in which he gives full expression to
his seminal theory of art. The substantial Introduction is his best
exposition of his general philosophy of art. In Part I he considers
the general nature of art as a spiritual experience, distinguishes
the beauty of art and the beauty of nature, and examines artistic
genius and originality. Part II surveys the history of art from the
ancient world through to the end of the eighteenth century, probing
the meaning and significance of major works. Part III (in the
second volume) deals individually with architecture, sculpture,
painting, music, and literature; a rich array of examples makes
vivid his exposition of his theory.
