Modern aesthetics come into being in the post-Enlightenment disciplinary differentiation process. With the concern about nature shifting to human beings themselves. Therefore, the beauty of human nature is the study focus in modern aesthetics. Baumgarten's "Aesthetics" was the starting-point of modern aesthetics, with the beauty of human nature as the study focus, which is different form the study focus in ancient times. Schiller's aesthetics is the very core period of modern aesthetics, in which the beauty of human nature played important role. As to the Harmonious beauty of human nature, Schiller's aesthetics is at the core of the modern aesthetic period. and therefore, the beauty of human nature occupies an important position in Schiller's Aesthetics, as to the harmonious beauty of human nature, primarily through his emotional to reconcile the rational impulses impulse explain the game impulse, which is different from the harmonious beauty of human nature in ancient Greece (especially Plato's) era, with the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty of traditional of harmonious unity. People in ancient time pursuited goodness,beauty,truth in nature while in modern times,people pursuit the perfection of human being on the basis of nature. Schiller's aesthetic is generated under the influence of such natural beauty .The Enlightenment following succeeding the Renaissance, bright about the emergence of the modern academic division the Schiller, aesthetic was just in the modern aesthetic. Instrumental rationality of modern humanity is that the character of human being is incomplete, and Schiller employed his "living image" as the object of the game impulsive. Namely with beauty to the conflicts between emotion and rational, material and form the transition to make people from natural Kingdom of the of the freedom kingdom, and to establish harmonious character and developed of his citizenship form modern country character. This Harmonious beautiful is different form that he inherited .the Kant's theory of purposiveness. But the establishment of harmonious beauty of human nature and the impact of Kant's aesthetics is inseparable. And Kant's understanding of functional harmony has great influence on his establishment of the theory. Therefore the aesthetics of ancient Greece and modern aesthetics is essentially different from each other though he still follows the ancient Greek rational spirit since to complete his theory. At the same time , the aesthetics live image, which is a complete harmony of "personality" and "state" is a idea kingdom of aesthetics often used to adjust the gap between his empiricism and rationalism. The idea kingdom of aesthetics is developed all the more perfect by Marx. Marx's theory of all-round complement and development of human being can be said to be Schiller's aesthetics. Although Schiller's harmonious beauty of human nature has its own contradictions,in today's Modernity-the modernization, where everything is overflowing the image of aesthetics, which has lost its enssential soul. Today, Aesthetic with the nature of the liberating people no longer exist. The beauty of human nature is no longer the personal accomplishment and enhancement of the taste, instead, it is established on money and capital. The appearance of public aesthetic fellowship can not solve the uproar of individual heart of emptiness. Schiller's harmonious beauty of human nature in modern aestheticism circumstances has more profound significance. The theory of aestheticism from German classical aesthetics (especially Kant and Schiller), but the modern aestheticism spirit of developed this spirit from the focus on the form self-discipline to peoples materialization, this phenomenon has great significance for Schiller's aesthetic reflection importance. What's more, the form of Schiller's aesthetic, with the core of life and the content that form composed of lives, this profound thought of harmonious beauty of human, whether can being improvement to or not which is worth considering. At the same time, to reflect on Schiller's life -form's integration and improvement, whether has positive effect on human personality, is also worth exploring.
