Shaftesbury's writings on the visual arts have previously either never been published or, although available in print, not presented in the form of a reliable critical edition. This volume remedies that situation. Although his 'Second Characters', planned as companion-piece for 'Characteristicks', was unfinished at the time of Shaftesbury's death, the surviving fragmentary collection of texts provides a valuable insight into the author's aesthetics, offering at the same time a fundamental contribution to our knowledge of eighteenth-century art theory. -Shaftesbury's instructions to the Italian painter Paolo de Matteis were put to paper as 'The Judgment of Hercules', a tract which stands in terms of contents between the traditional 'ut pictura poesis' and Lessing's 'Laokoon'. The English version is accompanied here by not only a new German translation, but also Shaftesbury's original French text, as well as colour plates showing the three versions of de Matteis's painting. 'A Letter Concerning Design' (edited here with a German translation), with its far-reaching political implications, and 'Plasticks' - the impressive torso of what was intended as a systematic discussion of art history and theory - similarly reveal the importance for scholarship today of Shaftesbury's thinking on art.
