    Finite vs. absolute knowledge in German idealism: The case of art
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2008) Kassabov, Ognian
    Aesthetics plays a key though often neglected sysıematic role in the philosophies of Kanı, Schelling and Hegel. Their overall projects are nonetheless opposed in some important respecıs: while Kant attempts to secure the limits of human knowledge, Schelling and Hegel try to articulate an actually 'absolute knowledge'. I consider the treatment of art of each of these three figures as elucidating his position on the scope of knowledge. I suggest that the very limited role Kanı allots art is a direct consequence of his limits-of-knowledge position as daiming that we can presuppose but cannot cognize the actuality of the ideas of reason. Art as identity-within-difference gives a model for Schelling's 'absolute idealism', for which art is no subordinate form of cognition. Hegel's treatment of art shows that the highest reconciliation in the idea cannot entirely take place in something outside thinking.
