To what extent are the beautiful and the morally good intertwined? \u003ci\u003eHegel's Political Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e explores Hegel's take on these ever-relevant philosophical questions and investigates three key themes: art's contribution to modern ethical life, the loss of art's authority in modern ethical life and ways of thinking beyond Hegel's analysis of art's role in society\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003eThe aesthetic is explored through the lens of German Idealism from Kant to Hegel, ultimately placing ethics and morality at the forefront of this debate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors explore Hegel's take on Kant's conception by historicizing what it means to be responsible to others, which for Hegel means being free \u003ci\u003ewithin\u003c\/i\u003e the norms of society, within what he calls ethical life. As a set of concrete social arrangements designed for finite human beings, however, ethical life falls short of actualizing freedom absolutely. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe themes in this volume are motivated by a central ambivalence in Hegel's thinking about modernity. The question of freedom sits at the forefront of this text, alongside the relation between art and the spirit. This book will be of particular interest to philosophers of aesthetics, politics and ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Bird-Pollan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135027917X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350279179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Stefan Bird-Pollan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064359416063,"sku":"9781350279179","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d2ffe71-1751-4989-a39b-fea1547c59ef.jpg?v=1685395016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hegels-political-aesthetics-stefan-bird-pollan-9781350279179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
