HUESCA RAMON, Fernando. Aesthetic form in Hegel: art as cognitive vehicle. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2020, n.43, pp.105-121.  Epub Aug 07, 2020. ISSN 2594-0619.

Hegel’s Lectures on the Philosophy of Art offer an encyclopedic summary of previous reflections on beauty, the work of art, creativity and the formative and social function of art. In them, one can find theoretical guidelines for the interpretation of the work of art as a sensible matrix in which is deposited an epistemological guideline about human nature and its development through history. Art is shown in Hegel as a product of a human consciousness in search of itself and of self-affirmation and transformation of the world. Art is a necessary cultural product for self-knowledge and human emancipation.

Keywords : form; art; aesthetics; consciousness; history.
