The book investigates theories dating from the 13th to the 18th
century on the moral indifference of human action with a view to
substantiating the hypothesis of a heterogeneous genealogy of the
specifically modern concept of 'aesthetics'. Aesthetic discourse on
art did not develop of its own self and in its own right but was
essentially based on genuinely moral-theological concepts (or
concepts evolving in the context of moral theology) relating to the
eventuality of human action being adiaphoric in origin. Both in
methodological terms and in conjunction with its subject, this
study proposes an aetiology, rather than a pre-history, of
aesthetic thinking.
The Deutsches Literatur-Lexikon is one of the best known, most
comprehensive and most reliable reference works on German
literature. Spanning the ages, the work encompasses writers from
all eras, ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day. Volume
28 contains, among other, articles on Walther von der Vogelweide,
Fred and Maxie Wander, Aby Warburg, Jakob Wassermann and Max Weber.
In line with the encyclopedia's broad definition of the term
literature, information is also included on numerous specialists in
their fields, e.g. conductor Bruno Walter and footballer Fritz
Walter.
