Hegel gave lecture series on aesthetics or the philosophy of art in
various university terms, but never published a book of his own on
this topic. His student, H. G. Hotho, compiled auditors'
transcripts from these separate lecture series and produced from
them the three volumes on aesthetics in the standard edition of
Hegel's collected works. Annemarie Gethmann-Siefert has now
published one of these transcripts, the Hotho transcript of the
1823 lecture series, and accompanied it with a very extensive
introductory essay treating many issues pertinent to a proper
understanding of Hegel's views on art. She persuasively argues that
the evidence shows Hegel never finalized his views on the
philosophy of art, but modified them in significant ways from one
lecture series to the next. In addition, she makes the case that
Hotho's compilation not only concealed this circumstance, by the
harmony he created out of diverse source materials, but also
imposed some of his own views on aesthetics, views that differ from
Hegel's and that the ongoing interpretation of the aesthetics part
of Hegel's philosophy has unfortunately taken to be Hegel's own.
This translation of the German volume, which contains the first
publication of the Hotho transcript and Gethmann-Siefert's essay,
makes these important materials accessible to the English reader,
materials that should put the English-speaking world's future
understanding and interpretation of Hegel's philosophy of art on a
sounder footing.
