Exploring in particular the writings of Kant and those who followed after, including Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, Paul Gordon contends that art solves the problem of how one can \"know+? the absolute in non-conceptual, non-discursive terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe idea of art's inherent relation to the absolute, first explicitly rendered by Kant, is examined in major works from 1790 to 1823. The first and last chapters, on Plato and Nietzsche respectively, deal with precursors and \"post-cursors+? of this idea. Gordon shows and seeks to reddress the lack of attention to this idea after Hegel, as well as in contemporary reassessments of this period. \u003ci\u003eArt as the Absolute\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to students and scholars studying aesthetics from both a literary and philosophical perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501330551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501330551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Paul Gordon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935196545279,"sku":"9781501330551","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_62196e94-d997-473b-a31b-120037a74bfe.jpg?v=1681418416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-as-the-absolute-paul-gordon-9781501330551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
