A quest for sense is often taken to be a, if not the, main task of philosophy. Still, the relationship between philosophy and sense remains a complicated one, as sense is both what is most immediate in perception and what is most abstract and distant from perceptual immediacy. Such apparent contradiction is directly taken on by Hegel. The present collection reunites explorations of Hegel's conception of sense from multiple perspectives, unified by their common reference to the aesthetic dimension. In turn, the complexity of sense allows different aspects of Hegel's concept of the aesthetic to emerge, also in relation to contemporary debates.
