Synopsis
No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet nor was any so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller. For if the artists of classical Greece could find the perfect fusion of content and form, modernity faced complicating - and ultimately disabling - questions. Christianity, with its code of unworldliness, had compromised the immediacy of man's relationship with reality, and ironic detachment had alienated him from his deepest feelings. Hegel's Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics were delivered in Berlin in the 1820s and stand today as a passionately argued work that challenged the ability of art to respond to the modern world.

    The books were in very good condition and were packaged extremely well. I do not think that I have received books packaged this well before. I am quite pleased. The seller also communicated fast when I asked a question about the books. I would definitely buy from them again if they ever sell something else I want.

    great price for a well known New Mexican folk carver. Took 2 weeks to receive my purchase but it was the USPS fault. They bounced it from major city to city and the Phoenix distribution center sent it out of state twice after they received it rather than sending it to my local PO. But the wait was well worth it. Had to have the USPS track it down before receiving it. If the seller has any more carvings by New Mexican carvers at this price, I will buy again.
