He explicitly takes the time to unravel the philosophical framework through which the aesthetic notions are then analysed. The filmic medium is thus understood for itself, in its own terms, but also as embedded in a complex of conceptual relations exceeding it. Hence, his book not only gives a comprehensive insight into Lukács’ original thinking and the way he correlates politics, philosophy, art and film, but also an illustration of the fruitfulness and the need of trespassing (while respecting at the same time) the intellectual division of labour in the analysis of specific art forms, particularly the filmic medium.’\u003cbr\u003eStefanie Baumann (IFILNOVA)\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.\tThe early aesthetic and ‘Thoughts Towards an Aesthetic\u003cbr\u003efor the Cinema’ (‘Gedanken zu einer Ästhetic des Kino’)\t\t\u003cbr\u003e2.\tNarrate or Describe?
