This conference will explore one of the most profound and influential philosophies of art: Hegel’s 1820s ‘lectures on aesthetics’. By calling upon a range of philosophers and art historians with expertise in the periods discussed by Hegel (including the ‘Classical’ art of Greece), our overriding objective is twofold: first, to ask how Hegel’s work might illuminate specific periods and artworks in relation to contemporary art historical discussions; and second, to ask how art history might help us to make better sense of Hegel’s remarks in the ‘Vorlesungen ueber die Aesthetik’.
