To sum up, then, what the particular arts realize in particular works of art, are according to their fundamental conception, simply the universal types which constitute the self-unfolding Idea of beauty. It is as the external realization of this Idea that the wide Pantheon of art is being raised; and the architect and builder thereof is the spirit of beauty as it gradually comes to self-cognition, and to complete which the history of the world will require its evolution of centuries. [Footnote 1: The introduction begins as an introduction of lectures. But as the work is merely based to a large extent on notes for lectures, or on a manuscript which did not preserve the lectures as they were delivered, it will be found most convenient to ignore this fact, and in references to regard it simply as a written treatise.] [Footnote 2: Hegel, alluding no doubt to the words of the Gospel, puts it "born and born again from mind (spirit)."] [Footnote 3: It is assumed that such a fancy is seized and defined as such in separation from other experience.] [Footnote 4: The sentence is slightly ironical.] [Footnote 5: _Dem Scheine._] [Footnote 6: _Raisonnements_: a disparaging expression.] [Footnote 7: Hegel here means the formal character, not the material on which it is imposed in the several arts.] [Footnote 8: Hegel says, "as that which has no right to be," _das Nichtseyn sollende._] [Footnote 9: _Erscheine_ as contrasted with _scheine._] [Footnote 10: _Das An-und-Fürsichseyende._ That which is explicitly to itself self-determinate being, no less than essentially such in its substantive right.] [Footnote 11: _Besonnener Art._ Possibly Hegel means "one more compatible with common sense."] [Footnote 12: I think by the words _kunst wieder hervorzurufen_ Hegel rather means to call up art as it was previously cultivated than merely to "stimulate art production." The latter is, however, Professor Bosanquet's translation.] [Footnote 13: _Subjective_ apparently in the sense of being wholly personal to the writer or philosopher in so far as the form of his treatise deals in classification and arrangement peculiar to himself and so _external_, if not entirely arbitrary.] [Footnote 14: I agree with the note of Professor Bosanquet (Trans., p. 21) that the word _element_ refers here to the mental constituents of art, as contrasted with the sensuous medium.] [Footnote 15: That is to say, the essential formative process involved in its necessity.] [Footnote 16: There must be a misprint or oversight in Professor Bosanquet's rendering of this passage (p. 21). As the sentence now stands it does not appear to me to make sense.] [Footnote 17: _Von ihm._ The pronoun, I take it, must refer here to _das Andere_ rather than the subject of the verb.] [Footnote 18: "Makes itself an alien to itself" perhaps expresses the German better.] [Footnote 19: That is, the work of art.]
