Letters Upon the Aesthetic Education of Man (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169223691)

""Letters Upon The Aesthetic Education Of Man"" is a philosophical work written by Friedrich Von Schiller. It consists of a series of letters that Schiller wrote to a friend, discussing his ideas on the role of aesthetics in human development. In these letters, Schiller argues that the pursuit of beauty and the cultivation of the imagination are essential for individuals to reach their full potential. He suggests that by engaging with art and beauty, individuals can transcend their limitations and achieve a state of harmony and balance. Schiller also explores the relationship between aesthetics and morality, arguing that a truly moral individual must also be aesthetically sensitive. This book is considered a classic of German philosophy and has had a significant influence on the development of aesthetics as a field of study.When the mechanical artist places his hand on the formless block, to give it a form according to his intention, he has not any scruples in doing violence to it. For the nature on which he works does not deserve any respect in itself, and he does not value the whole for its parts, but the parts on account of the whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
