Briefly describe Hegel's artistic final conclusion in Aesthetic Principles?

Brief introduction to the final conclusion of art;

When art reaches the romantic stage, art comes to an end.

Hegel believes that religion, art and philosophy are all manifestations of absolute spirit.

According to his "beauty is the perceptual expression of ideas", art can be divided into three types:

1. Symbolic art.

The representative is oriental art, the primitive stage of art, and the representative is that form is greater than content.

2. classical art.

It is the mature stage of art, which overcomes the double defects of symbolic art represented by Greek art and achieves the unity of content and form, and is the most complete stage of art.

3. Romantic art.

At this stage, art tends to collapse, the main feature is that content is greater than form, and art begins to end.

Hegel's final conclusion of art is due to the defect of absolute spirit of artistic expression.

The concept of the final conclusion of art: art will eventually turn to philosophy.

1. As the primary stage of absolute spirit, art realizes freedom through perceptual means. Artistic freedom is still not the freedom to truly understand inevitability, or even the absolute freedom to be unaware of inevitability. Therefore, the freedom of art is incomplete, not real freedom.

2. Therefore, the artistic spirit still needs further development, but the next stage of art is not direct philosophy.

In other words, not only art, but also religion partially liberated the spirit. Although art and religion are still in an incomplete stage in understanding the relationship between freedom and necessity, they are ultimately the same as philosophy in purpose.

4. Similarly, in addition to art and religion, history (natural history, social history and personal history) and science (natural science and humanities) will also turn to philosophy, or it is also a direct expression of philosophical spirit at different stages.

Since all the achievements of the human spirit can be said to reflect the highest pursuit of the spirit to varying degrees, in fact, art does not need to "turn", and art is directly philosophy.
