| Aesthetics: aesthetics is generally the doctrine of perception in the philosophical tradition. In the narrower sense it is the investigation of the question of why we find certain things beautiful or ugly. Here, historical changes as well as cultural differences are taken into account. In modernity, the question of the enlightenment effect and the social power of works of art has also become relevant. See also art, works of art, beauty, perception, society, autonomy, recognition._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

G.W.F. Hegel on Aesthetics - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 65 Aesthetics/Hegel/GadamerVsHegel/Gadamer: As is well known, the perhoresis of the dogmatic schematism of the Hegel school in the middle of the 19th century led to the demand for a renewal of critique under the slogan "Back to Kant". The same applies to aesthetics. As great as the evaluation of art for a history of world views was, which Hegel gave in his aesthetics - the method of such an a priori construction of history, which was used in the Hegel school (Rosenkranz, Schasler and others), was quickly discredited. The demand for a return to Kant, however, which was raised against it, could not really mean a return and regaining the horizon that surrounded Kant's criticisms. Rather, the phenomenon of art and the concept of genius remained at the centre of aesthetics, and the problem of natural beauty, including the concept of taste, remained on the margins. >Natural Beauty/Hegel, >Aesthetics/Kant, >Genius/Kant, >Taste/Kant._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
