Conference «Aesthetics and Romanticisms, with S for Schelling»

To mark the 250th anniversary of Friedrich Schelling’s birth, the Círculo de Bellas Artes is holding the conference «Estética y Romanticismos, con S de Schelling» on 12 and 13 May, the intellectual conclusion of a major academic project on Romantic aesthetics.

The event sums up a year of collaborative work by the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at UAM, which has explored the aesthetic ideas of Romanticism through music, literature and painting in the context of different cultures, from Germany to England. The conference not only continues the workshop’s lineage, but also sets a direction for future reflections on how Romantic thought continues to cast a shadow over contemporary art and philosophy.
