What is the role of art in modern society? To what extent are the
beautiful and the morally good intertwined? Hegel's Political
Aesthetics explores Hegel's take on these ever-relevant
philosophical questions and investigates three key themes: art's
contribution to modern ethical life, the loss of art's authority in
modern ethical life and ways of thinking beyond Hegel's analysis of
art's role in society. The aesthetic is explored through the lens
of German Idealism from Kant to Hegel, ultimately placing ethics
and morality at the forefront of this debate. The authors explore
Hegel's take on Kant's conception by historicizing what it means to
be responsible to others, which for Hegel means being free within
the norms of society, within what he calls ethical life. As a set
of concrete social arrangements designed for finite human beings,
however, ethical life falls short of actualizing freedom
absolutely. The themes in this volume are motivated by a central
ambivalence in Hegel's thinking about modernity. The question of
freedom sits at the forefront of this text, alongside the relation
between art and the spirit. This book will be of particular
interest to philosophers of aesthetics, politics and ethics.
