Rethinking Hegel's Modern Conception of Art
The end of art is its beginning. This seems to be a contradiction. And, even more, it seems to contradict the claims of the most prominent representative of the end-of-art thesis, Hegel. Hegel’s conception of art, so it seems, tells us that art long passed its apex on the path to modernity. In his view, the end of art has to be understood as a symptom of the necessary decay of art, which is rooted in art’s systematic relation to religion and philosophy. In my presentation, I will try to show that different from one may think at first sight, Hegel’ aesthetics conceives of art as a particularly modern practice. Accordingly, the end-of-art thesis has to be understood as a systematic claim which explains the specifically modern condition of art in general.
