Abstract

The study is devoted to the aesthetic views on architecture of the classic philosopher G.V.F. Hegel. The main object was the publication of the philosopher’s aesthetic works entitled “Lectures on Aesthetics”, the first three parts. The article examines the triadic systems built by the philosopher: the stages of self-knowledge by the spirit (art – religion – philosophy) and the stages of self-knowledge of the spirit in art forms as the relationship between an idea and the form of its embodiment (symbolic – classical – romantic forms of art). Hegel calls architecture “the beginning of art,” while at the same time separating construction as such an initial stage of architecture that does not fall into the category of art due to the absence of an idea as a source in it. According to Hegel’s aesthetics, architecture is one of the forms of embodiment of an idea as a means of self-knowledge of the spirit. And on the one hand, the philosopher defines architecture as a type of art that is closest to symbolic art, in which form and idea are still quite separate, and form dominates, since the idea is not yet sufficiently defined. On the other hand, architecture is considered by Hegel at all three stages of the development of art, and therefore is defined as capable of reaching the stage of romantic art, in which the idea is fully realized, dominating the form
