This book develops a philosophy of aesthetic experience through two
socially significant philosophical movements: early German
Romanticism and early critical theory. In examining the
relationship between these two closely intertwined movements, we
see that aesthetic experience is not merely a passive response to
art-it is the capacity to cultivate true personal autonomy, and to
critique the social and political context of our lives. Art is
political for these thinkers, not only when it paints a picture of
society, but even more when it makes us aware of our deeply
ingrained forms of experience in a transformative way. Ultimately,
the book argues that we have to think of art as a form of truth
that is not reducible to communicative rationality or scientific
knowledge, and from which philosophy and politics can learn
valuable lessons.
