Preface.- Introduction.- I. Winckelmann: The Responsibility of Aesthetic Response.- II. Hemsterhuis and Herder: Sculptural Theo-humanism.- III. Moritz, Wackenroder, Schelling: Tragic Theo-aesthetics.- IV. The Jena Circle and Hegel: The Modernity of Painting.- V. Conclusion.
Explores the theological and humanist concerns that animate German philosophical discourse on sculpture and painting, circa 1754-1828
Critiques the widespread assumption that German Romanticism and Idealism reduced the originally religious nature of figurative art to a formalist worship of beauty and of unbridled artistic autonomy
Provides an historical framework for contemporary debates about the nature and future of aesthetics
