End of Art Readings in a Rumor After Hegel

"Geulen's book succeeds in bringing new significance, renewed continuity, and robust meaning to a large portion of this endlessly productive tradition."xNotre Dame Philosophical Reviews "Geulen's rich and rewarding inquiry into modern German aesthetics never loses sight of a single question: not "why is art at its end?" but rather "why is there a compulsion to say art has come to an end?" By seeking the genesis and structure of this compulsion, Geulen provides a major reassessment of the paradoxical tradition of aesthetic reflection that takes its point of departure from Hegel's difficult pronouncement that the age of great art has come to a close."
