The Philosophy of Fine Art, volume 3 (of 4): Hegel's Aesthetik
Georg Hegel · en
[Footnote 40: As in obelisks, Memnons, etc.]
[Footnote 41: II, _c._ 162.]
[Footnote 42: _c._ 106.]
[Footnote 43: Symb. (2nd ed.), p. 469. The solar city of Heliopolis.]
[Footnote 44: XXXVI, 14, and XXXVII, 8.]
[Footnote 45: Creutzer I, p. 778.]
[Footnote 46: "History of Architecture," vol. I, p. 69.]
[Footnote 47: _Wandungen._ I presume this refers to every kind of
subdivision no less than boundary walls.]
[Footnote 48: _Pracktgewänden._ Presumably this refers to the isolated
structures in which the columns are built--having flat surfaces like
walls.]
[Footnote 49: _Balken._ The word would suggest perhaps that Hegel means
here beams of any kind.]
[Footnote 50: II, _c._ 155.]
[Footnote 51: Her. II, _c._ 108.]
[Footnote 52: Herodotus dwells on this in the above passage.]
[Footnote 53: II, _c._ 148.]
[Footnote 54: Commentators of Herodotus point out that we have no
direct evidence here of their number, which, comparing this with
Strabo's account, is doubtful, and still more so the number of the
chambers (οἱκήματα). Strabo says there were twenty-seven courts. The
connection between the halls was not an architectural one but by means
of the chambers and colonnades (παστάδες). See Blakesley's notes, vol.
I, pp. 279-80. Neither from Herodotus nor Hegel is it very easy to form
a clear notion of the building.]
[Footnote 55: "History of Ancient Building," vol. I, p. 75.]
[Footnote 56: XXXVI, 19.]
[Footnote 57: _Ein Individuelles._ Lit., An individual entity.]
[Footnote 58: The relative pronoun refers to the separation of both
aspects.]
[Footnote 59: II, _c._ 126-7.]
[Footnote 60: Her. II, _c._ 125.]
[Footnote 61: _Geschichte der Baukunst der Alten_, I, S. 55.]
[Footnote 62: Symbolical significance.]
[Footnote 63: Wolff's and Buttmann's Mus., B. I, p. 536.]
[Footnote 64: Hegel uses the coined word _osirirt_ I presume in this
sense.]
[Footnote 65: _Abstraction._ Abstract in the sense of possessing no
ideal complexity.]
[Footnote 66: _Verständig._ Comes under the categories of the
Understanding.]
[Footnote 67: Lit., "Find the element that is congenial."]
[Footnote 68: That is, the principle of geometrical design and that of
organic structure.]
[Footnote 69: That is the beauty and the ulterior aim of utility.]
[Footnote 70: _Verständig._ See note above.]
[Footnote 71: The sphere of mechanical gravity.]
[Footnote 72: I presume _Aufwande_ means expense here; it would be more
reasonable perhaps to say "waste of room," columns being only too often
so much more expensive for their size.]
[Footnote 73: That is, the free treatment of line under scientific
forms of abstraction rather than limited to specific modes of organic
form in Nature.]
[Footnote 74: _Der Verständigen Gesetzmässigkeit._ The principle of
scientific architecture.]
[Footnote 75: Immediate imitation, that is.]
[Footnote 76: Of classical art.]
[Footnote 77: _Symbol des Innern._]
[Footnote 78: That is, apart from the classical type.]
