On the Aesthetic Education of Man by Friedrich Schiller Dover Books on Western Philosophy ISBN-13: 9780486437392 ISBN-10: 0486437396 Publication Date: 9/9/2004 Publisher: Dover Publications Paperback 5.45 x 8.4 inches, 146 pages A classic of 18th-century thought, Schiller's treatise on the role of art in society ranks among German philosophy's most profound works. An important contribution to the history of ideas, it employs a political analysis of contemporary society—and of the French Revolution, in particular—to define the relationship between beauty and art. Schiller's proposal of art as fundamental to the development of society and the individual remains an influential concept, and this volume offers his philosophy's clearest, most relevant expression. Translated and with an introduction by Reginald Snell.
