Excerpt from Hegel's Aesthetics: A Critical Exposition

The Æsthetics of Hegel is a voluminous treatise, and more easy of comprehension than any other of his works. Its appearance began a new era in Art criticism, and it has been the mine from which many subsequent writers have drawn their treasures. To read it intelligently will open new vistas and make possible new enjoyment for any cultured reader. The object of the present book is, without transfer ring its multitudinous details, or giving what can be readily found elsewhere, to reproduce its essential thought, especially from the philosophic standpoint. Some endeavor to master the key, viz., Hegel's philosophy of the Idea, is needful for its complete application in following his treatment of the several Arts.

The work is divided into three parts. The first, which gives the fundamental philosophy of the whole, is here reproduced faithfully, though in a condensed form, with criticisms of the present author interspersed. Of the second part, which traces the logical and historical development of the Art-impulse, there is an excellent translation easily accessible.
