History of Aesthetics
Man creates masterpieces of literature and art, but he does not want to be satisfied with this, but rather he wants to understand what is behind his creativity.

The higher is also the deepest, and in it the separate moments are grouped together in the subsequent pigmentation of the subjective unity, the need for the interconnectedness that characterizes directness is eliminated, and the separate moments are returned to the subjective unity.
For Hegel, thought is not philosophical if it is not also religious. Both religion and philosophy have a common object and share the same content, for both are concerned with the inherent unity of all things. Hegel's doctrine of God provides the means for understanding this fundamental relationship. Although Hegel stated that God is absolute Spirit and Christianity is the absolute religion, the compatibility of Hegel's doctrine of God with Christian theology has been a matter of continuing and closely argued debate. Williamson's book provides a significant contribution to this ongoing discussion through a systematic study of Hegel's concept of God.
The normal, eternal, absolute idea - in its eternal existence - in and of itself - is God in his eternity or eternity before the creation of the world, and outside the world.
The main characteristic here is subjectivity as a self-determining force - and this subjectivity and rational power that we have met before in the form of the one who has not yet been defined within himself and whose goal - as it appears in the realm of reality - is in this the most specific thing possible.
The separation of religion from the subject manifests itself in the emergence of an actual will. In the will I am an actual and free being, and I present myself against the subject as another, in order to represent it with myself by removing it from that state of separation.
The world houses people equally with natural things. When the world is thus treated as a gathering or even a gathering of natural things, it is not conceived as nature, and we do not understand that it is something that is in itself a holistic system, a system of regulations and arrangements, especially laws.
This is the first of two volumes of the only English edition of Hegel's Aesthetics, the work in which he gives full expression to his seminal
What we must begin with is the question: How can a beginning be formed? This - at least - is a formal requirement for all sciences, and for philosophy in particular, and that there is nothing that must find a place for it in it that does not occur with proof.
The true "spiritual enthusiasm" is what we generally call "the church". This expresses this grouping, towards what has already been renewed.
Hegel's lectures have had as great a historical impact as the works he himself published. Important elements of his system are elaborated only in the lectures, especially those given in Berlin during the last decade of his life.
