The Neo-Kantian Reception of Schiller

Más información sobre el libro

During the second half of the nineteenth century, several members of the Neo-Kantian movement became interested in Schiller. For the first time, he was regarded not only as a poet and dramatist, but also as a philosopher - and, above all, as a Kantian philosopher. The authors of the contributions collected in this book reconstruct how various Neo-Kantian thinkers engaged with Schiller. Thus, the book illuminates the pivotal role that neo-Kantianism played in the discovery of Schiller's philosophy as well as the pivotal role that Schiller's philosophy played in the shaping of neo-Kantianism.
