Una polémica Kant-Schiller-Goethe-Hegel. Los dos ensayos -sobre el concepto de belleza y sus implicaciones éticas el primero y sobre aspectos subjetivos y objetivos de la creación literaria el segundo- son representativos y orientadores en la transicion del clasicismo al romanticismo aleman.

La Colección integral de Friedrich Schiller es un compendio exhaustivo que reúne las obras más representativas del dramaturgo y poeta alemán, uno de los pilares del Clasicismo.

Su formacion inicial como medico y su posterior dedicacion a la literatura lo colocaron en el cruce de las corrientes sociales y filosoficas de su tiempo. Influenciado por pensadores como Kant y la Revolucion Francesa, sus obras no solo son un producto de su epoca, sino tambien una critica audaz a la misma, consolidando su posicion como un faro del pensamiento critico en la historia de la literatura. Recomiendo encarecidamente esta coleccion no solo por su valia literaria, sino tambien por su relevancia historica.

Aquellos interesados en la literatura alemana, la filosofia o la historia politica encontraran en esta coleccion un tesoro invaluable que promete enriquecer su comprension de la cultura occidental.

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.

A common apartment in the Castle of Fotheringay.HANNAH KENNEDY, contending violently with PAULET, who is aboutto break open a closet; DRURY with an iron crown.KENNEDY.How now, sir? what fresh outrage have we here?Back from that cabinet!PAULET.Whence came the jewel?I know twas from an upper chamber thrown;And you would bribe the gardener with your trinkets.A curse on womans wiles! In spite of allMy strict precaution and my active search,Still treasures here, still costly gems concealed!And doubtless there are more where this lay hid.[Advancing towards the cabinet.KENNEDY.Intruder, back! here lie my ladys secrets.PAULET.Exactly what I seek.[Drawing forth papers.KENNEDY.Mere trifling papers;The amusements only of an idle pen,To cheat the dreary tedium of a dungeon.PAULET.In idle hours the evil mind is busy.

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.

The present is the best collected edition of the important works of Schiller which is accessible to readers in the English language. Detached poems or dramas have been translated at various times since the first publication of the original works; and in several instances these versions have been incorporated into this collection. Schiller was not less efficiently qualified by nature for an historian than for a dramatist. He was formed to excel in all departments of literature, and the admirable lucidity of style and soundness and impartiality of judgment displayed in his historical writings will not easily be surpassed, and will always recommend them as popular expositions of the periods of which they treat.PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION
