Friedrich Schiller

La Revolución francesa, que tanto había esperanzado a los ilustrados de Europa, tardó muy pocos años en revelarse como una transformación más compleja e incierta de lo que habían soñado. Friedrich Schiller escribio estas cartas entre 1793 y 1795, tras la lectura de la obra de Kant y Fichte, incuestionables maestros de la epoca, para examinar el postulado de la preeminencia de la Razon. Para el poeta y dramaturgoaleman, tan necesario como aprender a pensar es cultivar la sensibilidad y desarrollarla capacidad para apreciar la belleza, una facultad tan universal como la razon. Y es que, mas que la capacidad de razonar y la afinidad intelectual, lo que nos hermana es la facultad de sentir y poner en comun los gustos: las afinidades electivas. A lo largo de los dos siglos transcurridos desde que fueron escritas, estas paginas profundamente renovadoras se han convertido en una contribucion indiscutible alpensamiento universal.

The picture of a great, misguided soul, endowed with every gift of excellence; yet lost in spite of all its gifts! Unbridled passions and bad companionship corrupt his heart, urge him on from crime to crime, until at last he stands at the head of a band of murderers, heaps horror upon horror, and plunges from precipice to precipice into the lowest depths of despair. Great and majestic in misfortune, by misfortune reclaimed, and led back to the paths of virtue. Such a man shall you pity and hate, abhor yet love, in the Robber Moor. You will likewise see a juggling, fiendish knave unmasked and blown to atoms in his own mines; a fond, weak, and over-indulgent father; the sorrows of too enthusiastic love, and the tortures of ungoverned passion.

Encontrar ese "principio objetivo" de la belleza es el problema estético que F. Schiller intenta desentrañar en Kallias. La objetividad del hecho estético, contemplado así bajo la perspectiva principal de la obra de arte, determinará desde entonces, el discurso filosófico desde la filosofía crítica hasta el idealismo hegeliano. Será en Cartas sobre la educación estética del hombre donde se dé cumplida respuesta a las cuestiones apuntadas en Kallias.
