The formulation of the aesthetics of German idealism was a joint venture of many philosophers and poets. In this essay, we can only discuss the contributions of Kant, Schiller, Friedrich Schlegel, Schelling; and Hegel and shall have to ignore those of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Hölderlin, Jean Paul (especially Vorschule der Ästhetik; 1804), Adam Müller, Novalis, Karl Rosenkranz, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand Solger, Ludwig Tieck, Friedrich Theodor Vischer - whose monumental Ästhetik (Aesthetics) of 1854-56 ended the long series of idealist aesthetic systems - Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder, and the later transformations of idealist ideas in the writings of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Likewise the discussion of the European reception has to be restricted to a few selected examples: to the popular books of de Stael and A. W. Schlegel and the works of a few cultural mediators in France (Hugo), Great Britain (Coleridge), and Russia. The parts on Kant, Schiller, Fichte, F. Schlegel, de Stael, A. W. Schlegel, and the reception in western Europe were written by Manfred Engel; those on Schelling, Hegel, and the east European reception by Jürgen Lehmann.
