The Aesthetics of Hegel is a voluminous treatise, and more easy of comprehension than any other of his works. Its appearance began a new era in Art criticism, and it has been the mine from which many subsequent writers have drawn their treasures. The object of this book is to reproduce its essential thought, especially from the philosophic standpoint. Some endeavour to master the key--Hegel's philosophy of the Idea--is needful for its complete application in following his treatment of the several arts. The work is divided into three parts. The first, which gives the fundamental philosophy of the whole, is here reproduced faithfully, though in a condensed form, with criticisms of the present author interspersed. Of the second part, which traces the logical and historical development of the Art-impulse, there is an excellent translation easily accessible. I have thought it best, therefore, to substitute here, an original disquisition, in language approaching nearer the vernacular, and with more immediate regard to present Aesthetic problems; yet following also the pathway marked out by Hegel, and giving the substance of his thought. Of the third part, which is larger than both the others combined, being the treatment of all the Arts in detail, I have given all the important definitions and fundamental ideas, omitting, as was needful, the minute illustrations of the same, and the properly technical part, which, too, can be found elsewhere.

After more than ten years teaching ancient Greek history and philosophy at University College, Oxford, the British philosopher and political theorist Bernard Bosanquet resigned from his post to spend more time writing. He was particularly interested in contemporary social theory, but he was also concerned with philosophical questions about art and aesthetics. In this area, Bosanquet had been influenced by William Morris and John Ruskin, as well as the German philosopher Hegel, and their ideas underlie this book, published in 1892. Bosanquet considered aesthetic theory to be a branch of philosophy, and this work focuses on the evolution of theories about beauty. He begins by considering influential ancient Greek and Roman concepts before seeking out the aesthetic consciousness of the middle ages. The latter part of the book is concerned with theories from 18th- and 19th-century philosophers.
