[Footnote 20: _Haltpunkte._ Points of arrest in essential ideas necessary which restrain this tendency to purely arbitrary caprice.] [Footnote 21: I do not think the first part of this sentence ironical. Hegel admits that a general knowledge is a legitimate feature of modern culture. But he points out that people are only too ready to confuse such a general knowledge with real art scholarship. To bring out this I have translated rather freely.] [Footnote 22: Detail of historical fact and artistic observation.] [Footnote 23: It is historical, first, regarded as a survey of historical condition, and, secondly, because facts are collected whether in relation to ancient or modern art as a historian collects his facts.] [Footnote 24: Lit., the inmost or most ideal (meaning).] [Footnote 25: _Vollkommen._ Complete or rather completely articulate and rounded in itself. It is not easy to select the English word that exactly corresponds.] [Footnote 26: _Bestimmte Individualität._ The definition may, as Hegel says, be more significant, but it is for all that not very clearly expressed. Professor Bosanquet translates the words "determinate individual modification."] [Footnote 27: My view is that what Hegel means to say is that in caricature ugliness is emphasized and made more (_näher_) a part of the content than belongs to the true nature of the characteristic of which it is (in Hegel's opinion) no essential determinant or property. The view stated in the sentence is therefore a kind of _reductio ad absurdum._ Professor Bosanquet's translation appears to me to leave it doubtful whether the view stated is a just one or not. He translates _näher_ by "closely," not the comparative. In my view Hegel agrees that caricature may be characteristic, but he does not agree that it is a genuine property of the characteristic where it is pressed to the excess of ugliness.] [Footnote 28: _Bestimmung._] [Footnote 29: That is, in Hegel's view.] [Footnote 30: _Das Wahre_.] [Footnote 31: _Den denkenden Begriff._ It is possible that the "notion of thought" would express Hegel's meaning, as it would be a less strange expression. But I have retained the more literal translation as the reference may be to the self-evolution of Thought in its own dialectical process, thought or the Idea thinking out itself in the Hegelian sense. Professor Bosanquet seems to assume this, as he translates "the thinking Idea."]
