At the beginning of this book, Benjamin admitted that what he was doing was criticism rather than commentary. "What criticism explores is the true connotation of works of art." He tried to reveal the dimension of meaning hidden in Goethe's works as real connotation. In his opinion, it started the trend of classicism, which tried to clarify not ethical and historical issues, but mythological and philological issues. What it thinks about is not the idea in the process of being generated, but the connotation that has been formed and contains life and language. These rich and complex levels are particularly prominent in Goethe's late works.

This book is Benjamin's doctoral thesis. In view of the misunderstanding of Romantic theory that was popular at the time, Benjamin tried to trace the changes in the concept of art criticism of the German Romantic School using the idea of ​​​​problem history, with the intention of revealing the philosophical foundation of its art criticism and accurately defining the positive achievements of the German Romantic youth movement. Different from the general research on the history of art criticism, the author prefers to bring it into a broader perspective and conducts an in-depth review of the concept of reflection, epistemology, artworks, and art theory understood by the Romantics. The elucidation of inner criticism and salvationism is extremely insightful.
