CLASSICAL GREEK ARCHITECTURE AT THE END OF HISTORY: ON HEGEL AND GREEK ARCHITECTURE
In the following paper, I will attempt to argue that Hegel’s theory concerning the end of art is possessed of solid aesthetical dialectic grounds when viewed against the background of classical Greek architecture. It shall be argued that the perennial appeal of Greek/Neo-classicism in architectural form and to a somewhat lesser extent in interior decoration (the latter being slightly less visible) makes a good supporting argument for the end of art theory, because in the Western world the Greek classical form continues to appeal through Neo-Classicism. I shall diverge from Hegel’s theory of the human form and statuary in Greek classicism and confine myself in so far as is possible to architectural form as these are far more visibly prominent. The article will seek to make an argument for a form of metaphysical underpinning to the continual aesthetic appeal of classical Greek architecture.
