Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics (Penguin Classics)

The Hegel's Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics is a thought-provoking work that challenges the ability of art to respond to the modern world.

Despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart, and Schiller, Hegel was profoundly pessimistic about the prospects of art.

He argues that Christianity has compromised the immediacy of man's relationship with reality, and ironic detachment has alienated him from his deepest feelings.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding Hegel's philosophy and its impact on modern society.
