Letters Upon the Aesthetic Education of Man

You will find yourself much more in the grips of immediate life reading Aristotle's title Poetics than you ever will by reading the tract of some modern aesthetician who can only sniff around and dialecticize but is unable to get hold of realities.

Schiller's title Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man marks another high point in the understanding of aesthetic man.

He lived in a more abstract time, however.

Today we need to add the spiritual, the spiritually concrete, to the idealism of that time.
