Hegel on Sacred Poetry

Viac o knihe

In die heilige Poesie, Hegel equates poetry with the Judaic Psalms at the core of his notion of sublimity. Hegel's theory of the sublime has largely been interpreted as suggesting a lack of interest in the subject. Víctor Ibarra B. argues that Hegel's apparent disinterest is misleading and warrants further elucidation, through a careful examination of his remarks on heilige Poesie as portraying a flawed approach to agency. By revisiting Hegel's early works before 1800 and his dispute with Kant's concept of freedom, he offers a practical account of Hegel's view on sublime art within the context of his philosophy of love.
