Tracing the dialectical evolution from idolatry to purified worship, he explores how beauty and mythology bridge the gap between material signs and transcendent ideas, echoing Hegel\u2019s vision of art as a preserved yet surpassed moment in human history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a9 Translated by Nada Kim, Editions Dupleix, 2024.
