Abstract

Man must pass through the aesthetic condition from the merely physical in order to reach the rational or moral, Schiller says. Schiller developed aesthetics to perfect all the works of arts of man and for the construction of true political freedom. He expanded aesthetics into a comprehensive system of diverse intellectual faculties, incorporating Kant’s notion of judgment together with the elements derived from Rousseau. Schiller’s deepest concern is not with law or reason or morality in themselves, but with human freedom through an aesthetic approach.

Keywords: aesthetics, freedom, rationality, state of nature
