"Just read this for my philosophical literary criticism class. I felt like this one kept going round and round. Admittedly I ain't no philosophy aficionado, but I did enjoy some of Schiller's insights even if I didn't buy into his assumptions wholeheartedly."
"If only we could be as free or as mentally beautiful as Schiller envisioned. Best read before you turn 20, at which point the world he railed loudly against takes over.
Schiller is a much overlooked intellectual scholar outside of Germany. Along with Lessing, Goethe, and some lesser influential renaissance men, Schiller embodies Aufklarung humanism like few others. His plays are too preachy and his poems can never be found translated by decent individuals, but in the essays, his optimism is almost transforming.
Also check out his essays "On the Sublime", "On the Tragic", and his lengthy history of the Thirty Years War."
