Richard Hamann on Aesthetics - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 94 Aesthetics/Hamann/Gadamer: Hamann's attempt(1) is distinguished by the fact that it really goes back to Kant's transcendental intention and thus breaks down the one-sided standard of the art of experience. By working out the aesthetic moment evenly wherever it is present, special forms for specific purposes, such as the monumental art Gadamer I 95 or poster art, are given their aesthetic value. But here, too, Hamann holds on to the task of aesthetic differentiation. For he distinguishes in them the aesthetic from the non-aesthetic references in which it is located, just as we can also speak outside the experience of art of someone behaving aesthetically. The problem of aesthetics is thus given back its full breadth and the transcendental question is restored, which had been abandoned by art's point of view and its divorce from beautiful appearance and harsh reality. The aesthetic experience is indifferent to whether its object is real or not, whether the scene is the stage or life. GadamerVsHamann: But Hamann's attempt now fails at the opposite point: at the concept of art, which he consequently pushes out of the realm of the aesthetic to such an extent that it coincides with virtuosity(2). Here the "aesthetic distinction" is taken to the extreme. It also abstracts from art. The starting point for Hamann's basic aesthetic concept is the "intrinsic importance of perception". This concept apparently says the same thing as Kant's doctrine of the purposeful agreement with the state of our cognitive faculty in general. >Aesthetic Perception/Hamann. 1.
