Vincent - Hegel's Aesthetics

I liked Hegel when we first got to know him because of his theory that there is much more going on, and it begins with the sensuous. Eventually that sensuous speaks to our soul because of this endorphin-driven sort of ecstasy where we lose ourselves. I was going to do my original project on hegel and how music is a purely sensual experience that beckons the soul to something greater, but I found it difficult for me to work with just sounds and nothing mental like words or images. I think this sort of sentiment on music and the soul has been held widely for a very long time, so Hegel’s theory could hold true for many people throughout many generations.
