These texts include the first translation into English of Schiller's Kallias Letters and Moritz's On the Artistic Imitation of the Beautiful, together with translations of some of Hölderlin's most important theoretical writings and works by Hamann, Lessing, Novalis and Schlegel. In a philosophical introduction J. M. Bernstein traces the development of aesthetics from its still rationalist and mimetic construction in Lessing, through the optimistic construal of art and\/or beauty as the appearance of human freedom in the work of Schiller, to Hölderlin's darker vision of art as the memory of a lost unity, and the variations of that theme - of an impossible striving after the lost ideal - which are found in the work of Schlegel and Novalis.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHamann: Aesthetica in nuce\u003cbr\u003e Lessing: Laöcoon\u003cbr\u003e Moritz: On the Artistic Imitation of the Beautiful\u003cbr\u003e Schiller: Kallias Letters\u003cbr\u003e Hölderlin: Oldest Program for a System of German Idealism\u003cbr\u003e Letter to Hegel\u003cbr\u003e Being Judgement Possibility\u003cbr\u003e The Significance of Tragedy\u003cbr\u003e Remarks on Oedipus\u003cbr\u003e Novalis: From Miscellaneous Remarks\u003cbr\u003e Monologue\u003cbr\u003e Dialogues\u003cbr\u003e On Goethe\u003cbr\u003e Studies in the Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e Schlegel: From 'Critical Fragments'\u003cbr\u003e From 'Athenaeum Fragments'\u003cbr\u003e From 'Ideas'\u003cbr\u003e On Goethe's Meister\u003cbr\u003e Letter about the Novel\u003cbr\u003e On Incomprehensibility.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46005528133912,"sku":"9780521806398","price":84.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521806398i_86b7aa1e-1f93-4a9a-9f39-1d6525eb8fc3.jpg?v=1691368247","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/classic-and-romantic-german-aesthetics-hardback-9780521806398","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
