Abstract

abstract:Hegel's end-of-art thesis is arguably the most notorious assertion in aesthetics. I outline traditional interpretive strategies before offering an original alternative to these. I develop a conception of art that facilitates a reading of Hegel on which he is able to embrace three seemingly contradictory theses about art, namely, (i) the end-of-art thesis, (ii) the continued significance of art for its own sake (autonomy thesis), and (iii) the necessity of art for robust knowledge (epistemicnecessity thesis). I argue that Hegel is able to embrace all three theses at once through a conception of the work of art as an internally purposive whole (what I call the "IP View" of art). On the IP View, because of the kind of wholes that artworks are, they (i.a) are valuable for their own sake as ends-in-themselves, (i.b) yield valuable experiences because they are valuable for their own sake, and thereby (i.c) are necessary for robust knowledge. Finally, I suggest that not only does Hegel appear to hold the IP View of art, but also that on such a view, there is a very sensible reason for affirming (one reading of) Hegel's end-of-art thesis as an important means to establishing art's actual significance for robust knowledge against soaring, but unsubstantiable, claims about art's potency with respect to robust knowledge.

黑格尔的艺术终结与艺术作品的内在目的整体
摘要:黑格尔的艺术终结论可以说是美学界最臭名昭著的论断。我概述了传统的解释策略,然后提供了一个原始的替代策略。我提出了一个艺术概念,这有助于阅读黑格尔,在这个概念上,他能够接受关于艺术的三个看似矛盾的论点,即:(I)艺术的终结论点,(ii)艺术为其自身的目的而具有的持续意义(自主性论点),以及(iii)艺术对强大知识的必要性(认识必要性论点)。我认为,黑格尔能够通过将艺术作品视为一个内部有目的的整体(我称之为艺术的“知识产权观”)来同时接受这三个论点。在知识产权观点中,由于艺术品是一种整体,它们(i.a)作为目的本身是有价值的,(i.b)产生有价值的经验,因为它们是有价值,因此(i.c)对于强大的知识是必要的。最后,我认为,黑格尔似乎不仅持有艺术的知识产权观,而且在这种观点上,有一个非常合理的理由肯定(一读)黑格尔的艺术终结论,认为它是建立艺术对强大知识的实际意义的重要手段,以对抗关于艺术在强大知识方面的效力的高涨但未经证实的说法。
