Description
With Friedrich Schiller's (1759—1805) essential aesthetic writings, The German Library now includes the third and final volume of works by the influential playwright, historian, and philosopher. The informative introduction by Walter Hinderer and Daniel O. Dahlstrom sketches the various dimensions (historical, anthropological, philosophical, social, and personal) of Schiller's complex aesthetic views, and analyzes the impact of his attempts to develop concepts at odds with the social fragmentation of his time. Through all of his theoretical and dramatic work, Schiller remains our contemporary: The questions that he posed still concern us today.
