Publisher Description: This study examines how key figures in the German aesthetic tradition -- Kant, Schelling, Friedrich Schlegel, Hegel, and Adorno -- attempted to think through the powers and limits of art in post-Enlightenment modernity. Ayon Maharaj argues that the aesthetic speculations of these thinkers provide the conceptual resources for a timely dialectical defense of aesthetic agency-- art's capacity to make available uniquely valuable modes of experience that escape the purview of Enlightenment scientific rationality. |
