Description

"Theological Aesthetics of Art" is a first comprehensive reflection on all art genres from a theological perspective. Schelling and Hegel created a philosophy of all art genres of their time. This work presents a theological counterpart, in which painting, sculpture, poetry, music, architecture, but also newer art forms like film are treated, considering the upheavals caused by the advent of modernity and newer aesthetic designs as well as the entire tradition, and includes a localization of sacred Christian art.

Highlights

• First reflection on the theological aesthetics of all art genres • Discussion on art and theology in the context of modern and traditional art forms • Event as part of the study day at STH Basel
