The Philosophy of Fine Art, volume 3 (of 4): Hegel's Aesthetik
Georg Hegel · en
[Footnote 113: _In seine innerliche Subjektivität._ That is, what is
essentially the world of soul. Spirit here stands for mind and _Gemüth_
or emotional life.]
[Footnote 114: _Ein Sichzeichen des Geistes_, _i.e._, are signs of
itself which mind evolves in a mode of externality.]
[Footnote 115: Here called generically _Baukunst._]
[Footnote 116: _Die plastische Deutlichkeit._]
[Footnote 117: _Das subjektive Innere, i.e._, spiritual experience of a
personality.]
[Footnote 118: That is in comparison with the fully independent arts.]
[Footnote 119: That is to say it must be a distinct object of the
senses.]
[Footnote 120: _In sich materiell particularisirt._ We see Hegel's
false notions of the theory of colour influencing his expression. It is
really false to say that sculpture has nothing to do with colour. Light
and shadow at least are necessary and colour is implied.]
[Footnote 121: That is, lets fall some of its aspects.]
[Footnote 122: _Das Gemüth._ Strictly the more emotional part.]
[Footnote 123: Between the extremes of architecture and poetry or
music.]
[Footnote 124: Lit., "Without being manifested in its return to itself
as ideal substance."]
[Footnote 125: Unparticularized, that is in its essential experience.]
[Footnote 126: He explains this lower down. The concentrated point is
in the flash of the eye. Perhaps here he merely refers to it generally.]
[Footnote 127: _Als Innerlichkeit._]
[Footnote 128: This is only partially true of bronze, and any marble
that has had weathering.]
[Footnote 129: By _grosse geistige Sinn_ Hegel means no doubt more than
"taste." He refers to the deep-rooted instinct in the genius of the
race.]
[Footnote 130: Meyer, "History of the Plastic Arts among the Greeks,"
vol. I, p. 119.]
[Footnote 131: _Die acht plastische Mitte._ Hegel means that plastic
art comes to its most important focus, as it were, between the arts
that either incline too much to the material as in architecture, or to
ideality as in poetry.]
[Footnote 132: _Näheren._]
[Footnote 133: The reader must always bear in mind that Spirit
(_Geist_) includes intelligence. It might no doubt in some places be
better translated as "mind."]
[Footnote 134: _Substantielle._ That is what is the concrete fulness of
real spiritual content.]
[Footnote 135: _Als Subjekt._]
[Footnote 136: _Besonderheit._ The isolated self of the _Aufklärung._]
[Footnote 137: _Zufälligen Selbstischkeit._ Contingent selfness. The
ego above described.]
[Footnote 138: _Ohne innere Subjektivität als solche._ That is, in the
wholly abstract sense.]
[Footnote 139: _Begriff_ appears to refer here to the notion of animal
life generally, rather than the generic notion in its narrow sense.]
[Footnote 140: _Innern Strukture._ The structure that ideally motives
the whole.]
[Footnote 141: _Dieses ideelle einfache Fürsichseyn des leiblichen._
Apparently this includes the vegetable world.]
