By seeking the genesis and structure of this compulsion, Geulen provides a major reassessment of the paradoxical tradition of aesthetic reflection that takes its point of departure from Hegel's difficult pronouncement that the age of great art has come to a close." --Peter Fenves, Northwestern University<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Geulen's book succeeds in bringing new significance, renewed continuity, and robust meaning to a large portion of this endlessly productive tradition.--<i>xNotre Dame Philosophical Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>After having taught German for many years in the United States, most recently at New York University, Eva Geulen now teaches German at the University of Bonn, Germany.
