Outline and Purpose of the Course	This course will present the outline (what problems are solved, how they are solved, and to what extent) of the branch of learning called aesthetics. This semester will be the "historical part," in which we will trace the steps of aesthetic thought (primarily in the German-speaking world) over the course of a century, from 1735, when the title "aesthetics" was first presented in philosophical thinking on beauty and art, through the turn of the century, when this study rose to the top place of philosophy, and finally to 1835, when "the end of the arts" was proclaimed. We will then reveal and examine who worked on what kinds of problems, and how.
Course Goals	Historically understand what kinds of problems are solved, how, and to what degree, in the field of aesthetics.
