In this key text in the history of art and aesthetics, Karl Rosenkranz shows ugliness to be the negation of beauty without being reducible to evil, materiality, or other negative terms used it's conventional condemnation. This insistence on the specificity of ugliness, and on its dynamic status as a process afflicting aesthetic canons, reflects Rosenkranz's interest in the metropolis - like Walter Benjamin, he wrote on Paris and Berlin - and his voracious collecting of caricature and popular prints. Rosenkranz, living and teaching, like Kant, in remote Königsberg, reflects on phenomena of modern urban life from a distance that results in critical illumination. The struggle with modernization and idealist aesthetics makes Aesthetics of Ugliness, published four years before Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal, hugely relevant to modernist experiment as well as to the twenty-first century theoretical revival of beauty. Translated into English for the first time, Aesthetics of Ugliness is an indispensable work for scholars and students of modern aesthetics and modernist art, literary studies and cultural theory, which fundamentally reworks conceptual understandings of what it means for a thing to be ugly.

pedagogue philosopher scientist
Karl Rosenkranz was born at Magdeburg, Germany on April 23, 1805.
After holding the chair of philosophy at Halle for two years, he became, in 1833, professor at the university of Konigsberg.
He read philosophy at Berlin, Halle and Heidelberg, devoting himself mainly to the doctrines of Hegel and Schleiermacher. Throughout his long professorial career, and in all his numerous publications he remained, in spite of occasional deviations on particular points, loyal to the Hegelian tradition as a whole. In the great division of the Hegelian school, he, in company with Michelet and others, formed the "centre, " midway between Erdmann and Gabler on the one hand, and the "extreme left" represented by Strauss, Feuerbach and Bruno Bauer. Of his numerous writings, the following may be mentioned:-Philosophical: Kritik der Schleiermacher schen Glaubenslehre (1836): Psychologie oder Wissenschaft vom subjektiven Geist (1837; 3rd ed. , 1863); Kritische Erlauterungen des Hegelschen Systems (1840); Vorlesungen über Schelling (1842); System der Wissenschaft (1850); Meine Reform der Hegelschen Philosophic (1852); Wissenschaft der logischen Idee (1858 - 59), with a supplement (Epilegomena, 1862); Hegels Naturphilosophie und die Bearbeitung derselben durch Vera (1868); Erlauterungen zu Hegels Encyklopadie der philosophischen Wissenschaften (1871). Two other of his works on Hegel are important, the Leben Hegels (1844) and the Hegel als deutscher Nationalphilosoph (1870). Between 1838 and 1840 in conjunction with F. W. Schubert, he published an edition of the works of Kant, to which he appended a history of the Kantian doctrine.
