Las lecciones sobre estética de Hegel: discrepancias fundamentales entre la edición de Hotho y los Nachschriften

Abstract

This paper argues the need to reread Hegelian aesthetics based on the transcripts of Hegel’s Berlin lectures on aesthetics. To do this, the differences between these notebooks and the Lectures on Aesthetics edited by Hotho, are exposed and analyzed, showing the most relevant modifications and manipulations that the editor made both on the structure and the content of Hegelian aesthetics. Thus, the analysis begins with the inclusion of the natural beauty in the Lectures on Aesthetics; then, it deals with the systematization and triadic structure of this work; and, finally, the problematic canonical definition of the ideal.
