Refleksja o świetle prowadzi w estetyce niemieckiej XVIII w. do rewizji reguł dotyczących percepcji sztuki. Winckelmannowski imperatyw oglądania dzieł sztuki w świetle dziennym i z pewnej odległości oddaje pole koncepcji Herdera, który wprowadza w obszar estetyki zmysł dotyku i brak światła, i zaleca dotykanie rzeźb nocą, co ma uzmysłowić odbiorcy sztuki ich dosłowną i metaforyczną wielkość. Z kolei Moritz postuluje oglądanie rzeźb o zmierzchu, w ożywiającym je migotliwym świetle pochodni.

In German aesthetics of the 18th century, reflections on light lead to the revision of rules regarding the perception of art. Winckelmann’s conception of viewing art in daylight and from a certain distance gives way to the theory of Herder, who introduces the sense of touch and lack of light into aesthetics and suggests that in order to fully understand them, sculptures should be touched at night. This will make the public aware of both their literal and metaphorical greatness. Moritz, in turn, postulates viewing sculptures at dusk, when they come to life in the flickering light of a burning torch.

Carl Heinrich Seibt (1735–1806) was the founder of modern Bohemian aesthetics, that is, thinking about taste, beauty, and fine art, which he developed in a living language. Yet little is known about the content of his lectures on the Schöne Wissenschaften or his views on aesthetics. The following article aims to fill this gap in four respects. It explains why the topic has so far been neglected; it gives a summary of the now known sources from which we may draw our knowledge of the topics of art theory, the individual kinds of art, and general aesthetics, with which Seibt was concerned in his lectures. It presents the standpoints which he held in them, and it puts them into the European context of the period, particularly German aesthetics. It aims primarily to determine whether the accessible sources contain traces of influences other than those of his teachers at Leipzig, who are mentioned in the secondary literature: Johann Christoph Gottsched (1700–1766) and Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715–1769), including the important authorities recognized by them, in particular Charles Batteux (1713–1780). The article shows that Seibt’s views were also influenced by Moses Mendelssohn and Johann Joachim Winckelmann, representatives of a generation of German aestheticians younger than his teachers.
