This article presents the significance of the new critical edition of Friedrich Schleiermacher’s Aesthetics, published in 2021. The first section illustrates the historical interpretations of Schleiermacher’s aesthetical reflection by Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce, showing their visionary acuity and highlighting their shortcomings. The second section informs the reader on the metamorphoses which the corpus of the Aesthetics has undergone over the past two centuries. Lastly, the third section summarizes the Aesthetics’ “new image” on the theoretical level and focuses on one fundamental internal shift occurring between the first and the last course. Such shift revolves around the notion of archetypal image (Urbild), first understood by Schleiermacher in a prevalently theological sense, then in a prevalently psychological one.
