Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics

Christianity had compromised the immediacy of man's relationship with reality, and ironic detachment had alienated him from his deepest feelings. Hegel's "Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics" were delivered in Berlin in the 1820s, and stand as a passionately argued work that challenged the ability of art to respond to the modern world.

Crestinismul compromitese imediat relatia omului cu realitatea, iar detasarea ironica il instrainase de sentimentele sale cele mai profunde. ,,Prelegerile introductive despre estetica" ale lui Hegel au fost sustinute la Berlin in anii 1820 si sunt o lucrare argumentata cu pasiune care a provocat capacitatea artei de a raspunde lumii moderne.
