Beauty and Truth: A Study of Hegel's Aesthetics (Oxford Modern Languages and Literature Monographs)

By Stephen Bungay

Book Overview

The first book in English to attempt a full theoretical analysis of Hegel's philosophy of art, Beauty and Truth examines Hegel's central thesis: that both beauty and truth can be understood in terms of systematic coherence, and that art, as a purveyor of truth, embodies and reflects the beliefs of the societies from which it comes.
