Hegel, aesthetics, symbol, sign, sign-imageAbstract
This article examines the Hegelian conception of sign and the function that this concept fulfills within Hegel's aesthetic. Based on the totalizing sense of the concept of artistic beauty as a sign of the idea, the central objective of this article is to demonstrate that the Hegelian concept of sign fulfills a determining role in specific areas of aesthetics, especially in the context of the romantic art form, in which the sign expresses the highest sensitive-spiritual determination of the concept of art. In this sense, we defend two hypotheses. The first consists in affirming that the sign, and not the symbol, is the predominant element of the romantic-modern determination of the beautiful artist. The second sustains that, as a sign-image, the beautiful romantic art is defined as an expression of the subjective recreation of objectivity.
