Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Schiller is not merely one of Germany's foremost poets. He is also one of the major German contributors to world literature. The undying words he gave to characters such as Marquis Posa in Don Carlos and Wilhelm Tell in the eponymous drama continue to underscore the need for human freedom. Schiller cultivated hope in the actualization of moral knowledge through aesthetic education and critical reflection, leading to his ideal of a more humane humanity. At the same time, he was fully cognizant of the problems that attend various forms of idealism. Yet for Schiller, ultimately, love remains the gravitational center of the universe and of human existence, and beyond life and death joy prevails. This collection of cutting-edge essays by some of the world's leading Schiller experts constitutes a milestone in scholarship. It includes in-depth discussions of the writer's major dramatic and poetic works, his essays on aesthetics, and his activities as historian, anthropologist, and physiologist, as well as of his relation to the ancients and of Schiller reception in 20th-century Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schiller's Poems: Selected and Edited With Introduction and Notes Sonnets, as a poetic name for his landlady, Luise Doro thea Vischer, a widow with two children and consider ably older than himself. But the concrete object of the adulation expressed in these poems is really a matter of indifference; they were evidently inspired in part by the extravagantly idealizing amatory dreams of a youth who has grown to manhood in monastic seclusion with out the least experience of love, in part by his tendency to soar aimlessly through the boundless spaces of the eternal and the infinite. If in the Phantasie an Laura (no. 6) Schiller identifies his love with the cosmic force that holds the universe together, in Laura am Klam'er he hears, as in a trance, the multitudinous voices of nature and even the voice of God in the tones that come from Frau Vischer's piano; all creation reels about the love - rapt poet in Die seligen Augenblicke.

Download or read book Aesthetic Reason and Imaginative Freedom written by María del Rosario Acosta López and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shows the relevance of Schiller’s thought for contemporary philosophy, particularly aesthetics, ethics, and politics. This book seeks to draw attention to Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) as a philosophical thinker in his own right. For too long, his philosophical contribution has been neglected in favor of his much-deserved reputation as a political playwright. The essays in this collection make two arguments. First, Schiller presents a robust philosophical program that can be favorably compared to those of his age, including Rousseau, Kant, Schelling, and Hegel, and he proves to be their equal in his thinking on morality, aesthetics, and politics. Second, Schiller can also guide us in our more contemporary philosophical concerns and approaches, such as phenomenology, hermeneutics, aesthetics, and politics. Here, Schiller instructs us in our engagement with figures such as Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault, Jacques Rancière, Roberto Esposito, and others.
