{"product_id":"hegels-art-history-and-the-beat-wyss-9780521066808","title":"Hegel's Art History and the Critique of Modernity","description":"In this study, Beat Wyss provides a critical analysis of Hegel's theories of art history. Analogous to his philosophy of history, Hegel viewed the history of art in dialectical terms: With its origins in the Ancient Near East, Western art culminated in Classical Greece, but began its decline already in the Hellenistic period. Yet, as Wyss posits, art refuses its programmed demise. He highlights the political dimension of this contradiction, showing the implications of theories that subordinate art to the will of absolute rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beat Wyss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521066808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521066808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Beat Wyss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482436296959,"sku":"9780521066808","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d08d7aa8-1856-45a0-905e-a0ca5101fa70.jpg?v=1715998527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hegels-art-history-and-the-beat-wyss-9780521066808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
