Aparența care spune adevărul (O analiză a raportului dintre frumos, spirit și adevăr în gândirea estetică a lui Hegel)

Abstract

Starting from Hegel’s idea that art is the place where truth takes on a sensible form, this article traces how beauty becomes the appearance through which essence becomes visible. Beauty is understood as an ontological expression of spirit, a space of reconciliation between the universal and the particular, between thought and the sensible. Art is viewed both as a means of knowledge and as an experience of lived truth, a free activity of imagination through which reality is transfigured and reveals its inner meaning. In poetry, this tension between form and content, between the finite and the infinite, finds its most authentic fulfillment. The appearance that tells the truth is, ultimately, the way in which spirit comes to recognize itself through the beauty of the world it creates.
