Handbuch Christian Wolff Wolffs Rezeption in der Ästhetik
Wolffs Rezeption in der Ästhetik
Résumé
Wolff opens a new era of philosophical aesthetics in Eighteenth Century Germany. Al-hough he does not himself actively participate in the European debate on the Fine Arts (Sch ne Künste), he prepares his students’ move toward poetry and art. Paradoxically, he does so by innovating in areas which at first sight do not have anything to do with art that is, in epistemology, psychology and logic. What Wolff tries to think is reason, and sensibility at its foundation. When he happens to introduce examples from art, he does so in order to better conceive the faculty of sensibility. But this interest in sense percep-tion is precisely what underlies his students’ interest in art. Alexander Gottlieb Baum-garten (1714-1762), Georg Friedrich Meier (1718-1777), Johann Christoph Gottsched (1700-1766), Johann Jakob Bodmer (1698-1783), Johann Jakob Breitinger (1701-1776), Johann Georg Sulzer (1720—1779), Moses Mendelssohn (1729-86), Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) are among those who elaborate on Wolff’s ideas and sketch a the-ory of sensibility (aisthesis) which is at the same time a theory of art (aesthetics).
