Truth In The Hegelian Aesthetics And The End Of Art

Much attention has been paid to Hegel's statement that art belongs to the past since it was suggested. Many modern thinkers and aestheticians after Hegel start their investigation of art where Hegel ended his discussion.Art is the way that the truth manifests itself. When Hegel stresses on the truthness of the art, he focuses on not the art itself but that: what is the truth. Moden view of truth keep the art from the truth field, which proves the narrowing of the truth itself. Under the control of this view of truth, the art is faced with the fate of collapse, the human nature becomes dry and disintergrated, and the world melts into separated pieces.On the other hand, different from the discussion of the aesthetics within transcendental field, Heigel' s philosphy of fine arts in the final analysis is the philosophy of history. For the true history is the process in which the absolute spirit knows itself and completes itself. This process expresses itself in the way that the ideal exhibits itself in the art types.The statement that art belongs to the past therefore can be understood in the two sides: on the one hand, the art is the pre-form of self-completion of absolute spirit, on the other side, it is the religion which cannot goes back to its orignal place in the classical worldas well. The end of art means the loss the greece world.
