On the Scope of the Concept of Art: Edgar Wind’s Debate with Schleiermacher

Summary/Abstract: Art is inherently suspicious within modern theory, so it is all the more interesting that Edgar Wind relies on one of Schleiermacher’s late lectures, in which the German philosopher discussed the scope, possibility and conditions of art. This study interprets their debate and is aimed at presenting the common and the different elements in the theories of the two thinkers. The concept of “Besinnung” is at the center of the discussion, as it is able to open the ways for taking measure, awakening and disillusionment, while also questioning the feeling of superiority toward the artwork. If we truly understand the work, the measure it imposes becomes imperative.
