'Hegel's Aesthetics' is the first comprehensive interpretation of Hegel's philosophy of art in English in 30 years. In a new analysis of Hegel's notorious 'end of art' thesis, it argues for a variety of ways art ends, including historical, conceptual, and prosaic endings. It shows the indispensability of Hegel's aesthetics for understanding his philosophical idealism and introduces a new claim about his account of aesthetic experience. In contrast to previous interpretations, it argues for considering Hegel's discussion of individual arts - architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and poetry - on their own terms, unlocking new insights about his theories of perception, feeling, selfhood, and freedom.
