It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society. In doing so, the book challenges longstanding teleological narratives that emphasize disinterestedness and the separation of aesthetics from moral, cognitive, and political interests. The chapters are divided into three thematic parts. The chapters in Part I demonstrate the heteronomy of eighteenth-century British aesthetics. They chart the evolution of aesthetic concepts and discuss the ethical and political significance of the aesthetic theories of several key figures, namely the third Earl of Shaftesbury, David Hume, and Adam Smith. Part II explores the ways in which eighteenth-century German thinkers examine aesthetic experience and moral concerns and relate to the work of their British counterparts. The chapters here cover the work of Kant, Moses Mendelssohn, Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, and Madame de Staël. Finally, Part III explores the interrelation of science, aesthetics, and a new model of society in the work of Goethe, Johann Wilhelm Ritter, Friedrich Hölderlin, and William Hazlitt, among others. This volume develops unique discussions of the rise of aesthetic autonomy in the eighteenth century. In bringing together well-known scholars working on British and German eighteenth-century aesthetics, philosophy, and literature, it will appeal to scholars and advanced students in a range of disciplines who are interested in this topic." 2020-09-24T08:37:19Z 2020-09-24T08:37:19Z 2020 chapter https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/41878 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780429330254_oachapter10.pdf https://www.routledge.com/Beyond-Autonomy-in-Eighteenth-Century-British-and-German-Aesthetics/Axelsson-Flodin-Pirholt/p/book/9780367347963 Taylor & Francis Beyond Autonomy in Eighteenth-Century British and Germany Aesthetics Routledge 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb c0949784-cab0-4917-8758-33409c3f1073 Routledge 25 open access
