Importance of Schelling's "Philosophy of Art"

Conceptual frame: This is the only edition of Schellings's overall view of Art. The only way to have art is through Philosophy and Schelling expresses this implicitly in his work. This book is a thorough example of how romanticism and transcendnetalism can communicate. For anyone interested in Aesthetics this book is necessary - it shows how Aesthetics are infinitized. Technical frame: The book is 342 pages plus 55 pages of Foreword and Translator's introduction; it includes notes, bibliography, and index, and is divided into two basic parts - General section of the Philosophy of Art and Specific section of the Philosophy of Art.
