1. Introduction -- 2. Aesthetic Semblance and Play as Responses to the Disfigurement of Human Social Existence in Schiller's Aesthetic Education -- 3. Aesthetic Experience at the Limits of Thought in Holderlin's New Letters on Aesthetic Education -- 4. The Endless Pursuit of Universal Sense in Friedrich Schlegel's Political and Aesthetic Thought -- 5. Walter Benjamin's Philosophy of Critical Experience--From the Romantic Artwork to the Disillusioning of Mimesis -- 6. Aesthetic Truth as the Mimesis of False Consciousness in Adorno's Aesthetic Theory -- 7. Conclusion: The Benjamin-Adorno Debate on the Nature of Aesthetic Experience.

This book develops a philosophy of aesthetic experience through two socially significant philosophical movements: early German Romanticism and early critical theory. In examining the relationship between these two closely intertwined movements, we see that aesthetic experience is not merely a passive response to art--it is the capacity to cultivate true personal autonomy, and to critique the social and political context of our lives. Art is political for these thinkers, not only when it paints a picture of society, but even more when it makes us aware of our deeply ingrained forms of experience in a transformative way. Ultimately, the book argues that we have to think of art as a form of truth that is not reducible to communicative rationality or scientific knowledge, and from which philosophy and politics can learn valuable lessons.
