THE AESTHETIC EDUCATION OF MAN

Part 1 - 5

Schiller one of the person that contributed important element in design. He modified and develop element that very important especially in kent doctrine. He gave basic of philosophy for art doctrine. In The Aesthetic Education Of Man by Freidrich Schiller, it shown very clear and confidently for human being life in world to understand the principle of natural to use that element in life. He survey about beautiful in art design and his idea made from itself by drawing and not from study in another reference and experience .

 He usually followed the rule of natural compared to stand with the government side or authorities. But he not prevent who want to followed the another principle and not support in his way. It is because their action and thoughts will state the laws like what in the book said "your own unfettered thought will dictate the laws according to which we have to proceed In his opinion, he suggest everyone to open minded for the fact that was build in their own and must confident in every side . The main idea in system kent is, the philosopher not agreed and not believed with Schiller in his fact and opinion for that time, but another people believed with him. He want to help the people and prevent bad tragedy happen to them. He will use the natural beautiful in art for change the character of people.

            The reason of that statement is, Schiller said "they will appear as the verdict of reason pronounced from time immemorial by common consent, and as facts of the moral instinct which nature, in her wisdom, has given to man in order to serve as guide and teacher until his enlightened intelligence gives him maturity”. That’s mean the moral experience can applied in life to the beauty.

            When the moral people and spirit of philosophical higher and its become challenging, the true political freedom can be achieved.  All events are kind of art are the element that make up the challenge .Schiller said "For art has to leave reality, it has to raise itself bodily above necessity and neediness; for art is the daughter of freedom, and it requires its prescriptions and rules to be furnished by the necessity of spirits and not by that of matter". In my opinion, he said like that because the art not use in people life at that time.

Schiller’s focus on freedom in his definition of the aesthetic already hints at the tendency of his aesthetic to slip into the sublime insofar as freedom is typically associated with the sublime rather than with the beautiful object. According to this interpretation, Schiller was deeply affected by the consequences of the French Revolution and accepted Goethe’s belief that the poet ought to remain a stranger to his age, that art need not fulfill a moral function. Although Schiller claims that semblance is independent from truth and does not threaten it, he fails to dissociate the two completely.


 Thus, although Schiller would like us to believe that his only motive for making the aesthetic autonomous is to reveal its transcendental ground, we might ask whether his real motive might not be a certain disappointment. Man is not better treated by nature in his first start than her other works are. This part explains about when the man thinks that, he can convert the work of necessity into one of free solution, and elevate physical necessity into a moral law. This part also explain when the man want know himself and what should he do in his life, whether his life has been decided by someone else or decided by himself. Moreover, the physical man is a reality, and the moral man problematical. This is also explaining about crisis between women and men. The great point is therefore to reconcile these two considerations.

The third character would become the balancing and changing between the physical and the moral through the revolution of principles of moral. That revolution is included their perspective in each aspect of experience, thought, and human nature. If both can merged and equally, it can form the pure ideal man. Even though the pure ideal man it is not enough for make it right in this research. It still lacks and some needs like the unity ,nature variety, legislations and education.

The state not only to respect the objective and generic but also the subjective and specific in individuals and while diffusing the unseen world of morals, it must not depopulate the kingdom of appearance, the external world of matter. Authors point of view, people should be aware of their weakness and need not deceive ourselves. Authors also claim that the people agreed to defend their rights to seize the position of their government to avoid further persecution. Respect for fellow human is an objective and true freedom that led to the foundation of political unity.

            Philosophers say that man has risen from a long lethargy and self-deception. Given the physical possibility to put the law as a tribute to the man at length. As a goal to make the basic right of freedom of political union. Male philosophers as well subjective states must respects the institution. Conclusion philosophers want to say about beauty, art, freedom, the soul of a man and moral leadership of society.

  1. I wish you really understand the need for reviewing Letter 1 - 5 of Schiller. The missing of YOUR own conclusion after reading these letter directs me to think the opposite.
