Reconstituting the Body Politic: Enlightenment, Public Culture and the Invention of Aesthetic Autonomy


Add your own review!

Overview

The concept that art must hart no instrumental function is a doctrine traditionally traced back to Kant's Critique of Judgment. In Reconstituting the Body Politic, Jonathan Hess proposes that this concept of autonomous art marks not a withdrawal from the political realm but the ultimate embodiment of Enlightenment political culture, a response to a crisis in the institution idealized by Jurgen Habermas as the bourgeois public sphere.
