4. It was through the life-work of Goethe and
Schiller, and their many friends and contemporaries
-- through the development of the Kantian æsthetic judg-
ment, limited by abstraction and subjectivity, into an objective
concrete content which grows with the life and mind of man,
that the data of modern aesthetic were finally prepared for
incorporation in the answer to its problem. Their revival
of the German theatre, as a form of art, gave the world little
of permanent value beyond the two parts of Faust; but their
reflective synthesis of the Greek and the Briton, 1 by which
they continued the work of Lessing, typifies the revolution
which I have attempted to trace in the principal spheres of
aesthetic appreciation. If no new art crowned this revolution
-- for music was not directly affected by it -- yet a new philo-
sophy did; and it was amid the fermentation of this last ten
years, whose tendencies I have been attempting to sketch,
that the first great organic thinkers of the nineteenth century
gathered the convictions of their early manhood.

Conclusion.
