Die Erzeugung des 'ganzen Menschen': Zur Entstehung von Anthropologie und Asthetik an der Universitat Halle im 18. Jahrhundert

Aesthetics was founded as a separate philosophical discipline by scholars at the University of Halle in the second third of the 18th century. At the same time, the question of the "whole man” was a topic of heated debate in Halle: a new science of humanity, i.e. anthropology, had begun to emerge. It is therefore appropriate to speak of the "equiprimordiality” of aesthetics and anthropology, the basis of which is explained in this book.
