Aesthetical and Philosophical Essays

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the complex friendship between Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe during the last years of Schiller's life. Their collaboration sparked significant discussions on aesthetics, contributing to the Weimar Classicism movement. Schiller's encouragement helped Goethe complete unfinished works, and together they produced "Xenien," a satirical poem collection that critiques their philosophical adversaries. This relationship not only shaped their individual legacies but also left a lasting impact on German literature.
