Contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many, Dr. Peter Baofu argues that the current popularity of postmodernism in the humanities (especially though not exclusively in relation to the arts) will not last, as it constitutes an aesthetic fad in this day and age of postmodernity. This thesis has important implications for understanding beauty, ugliness, and other aesthetic categories, be the era in the past, present, or future, to the extent that the current theoretical debate on aest...

Die 'Vorlesungen von 1798–1827' stellen einen zentralen Bestandteil des kritischen Werkes August Wilhelm Schlegels dar. Am berühmtesten und bedeutendsten sind neben den Wiener Vorlesungen die Berliner Vorlesungen von 1802–04 'Über schöne Literatur und Kunst' mit eigenen Sektionen über die klassische und die romantische Literatur, die zusammen mit 'Über Theorie und Geschichte der bildenden Kunst' in den ersten beiden Bänden der Edition publiziert werden sollten. August Wilhelm Schlegel hat diese Vorlesungen meist genau in eigenhändigen Manuskripten ausgearbeitet, die sich in seinem Nachlass erhalten haben. Hiermit werden die Berliner Vorlesungen erstmals als kritische Ausgabe vorgelegt; in die Gesamtausgabe Eduard Böckings von 1846 wurde keine von ihnen aufgenommen. Bereits 1989 legte Ernst Behler (†) den ersten Band vor. Durch den Tod des Herausgebers ist der zweite Band nur bis zur Erstellung des Textteiles gediehen. Nunmehr hat sich der Verlag entschieden, dem Publikum den noch von Behler edierten, korrigierten und zum Druck vorbereiteten Text als ersten Teilband herauszugeben, um zunächst die für die ersten beiden Bände vorgesehenen Vorlesungen als Text zugänglich zu machen. Einleitung und Kommentar folgen als zweiter Teilband in Bälde, herausgegeben von dem neuen Gesamtherausgeber Georg Braungart.

The Continuum Aesthetics series looks at the aesthetic questions and issues raised by all major art forms. Stimulating, engaging and highly readable, the series offers food for thought not only for students of aesthetics, but also for anyone with an interest in philosophy and the arts. Aesthetics and Literature places philosophical aesthetics at the heart of thinking about literature. The book takes concrete examples from the traditional and contemporary literary arts and uses them to introduce all the central philosophical issues in literature. David Davies considers, with stimulating insight and great clarity, the nature of literature and fiction, artistic uses of language, and the nature of fictional characters. He goes on to explore our emotional responses to literature, the cognitive value and ethical values of literature and the accountability of the literary arts. The book offers a clear, non-technical analysis of each key issue, its broader significance and the principal positions that philosophers have taken on it. Davies presents the relevant philosophical background in a manner that is accessible to philosophy students and lay readers alike. Anyone interested in the philosophy of literature will find this book a rich source of ideas, insight and information. Combining a clear and engaging style with a sophisticated treatment of a fascinating subject, Aesthetics and Literature is a valuable contribution to contemporary aesthetics

Comparative aesthetics is the branch of philosophy which compares the aesthetic concepts and practices of different cultures. The way in which the various cultures of the world conceive of the aesthetic dimension of life in general and art in particular is revelatory of profound attitudes and beliefs which themselves make up an important part of the culture in question. This anthology consists of entirely new essays by some of the leading, internationally recognised scholars in the field. Th...
