These were not published by Hegel himself – they are the work of an editor – but with that caveat 1 they form one of philosophy’s most immense and systematic philosophies of art. ![]() These were later compiled from a (now lost) manuscript plus lecture notes by his students and published after his death as the Lectures on Fine Art ( Vorlesungen über die Ästhetik). The other, much more substantial source is a series of lectures Hegel gave between 1818-1829, first in Heidelberg then in Berlin. German speakers can read the original here.

Hegel’s aesthetic theory can be found in two places.įirst there are paragraphs 556–63 of the 1830 edition of the Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences (in its third part, called The Philosophy of Mind, IIIA). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Search Press supports the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC), and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA).
