Friedrich Schiller On Freedom And Beauty

Beauty is a form,a freedom in phenomenon.This form is an imitation of the form of practical reason,which is similar to the real freedom of practical reason.Reality is the starting point of Schiller's aesthetic thought.He believes that the realization of political freedom needs to rely on philosophy and art.Philosophy provides theoretical basis and beauty plays a role in human experience.Beauty restores the right of sensibility and makes people free from the shackles of reality.The realization of this freedom is the result of aesthetic education.However,Schiller's concept of aesthetic education has also aroused criticism from some researchers,who believe that this aesthetic education theory confuses sensibility and rationality,and leading to the objectification of sensibility,and that aesthetic education is Utopian and does not have authenticity.This is a misunderstanding of Schiller's aesthetic thought.The purpose of aesthetic education is to let us find human nature and provide more possibilities for the development of human nature,so as to realize the real Kingdom,political freedom and higher civilization through human beings.It is not to build the kingdom of aesthetic Utopia through aesthetic education,nor to let people abandon modern civilization and return to the barbaric era.This paper is divided into three chapters.The first chapter is the analysis of the concept and expression of beauty,because only when we understand the essence of beauty,can we explain how beauty functions on human beings and answer the question of how beauty expresses human freedom.The second chapter is the analysis of the function of beauty on human nature,that is,how aesthetic education realizes human freedom.In this chapter,we first explain and analyze human nature,and then analyze how beauty affects the perceptual and rational impulses in human nature,and under what conditions,aesthetic education can make people free.The third chapter is the reflection of Schiller's concept of aesthetic education.Whether aesthetic education can realize complete human nature to let people obtain freedom,whether aestheticobjectivity theory can lead to the confusion of sensibility and rationality,whether the right of sensibility restoration can lead to the loss of civilization,and whether this idea of aesthetic education has become a Religious God and Savior.Through the interpretation,analysis and criticism of the concepts of "beauty","freedom" and "aesthetic education",we try to restore the real thought of Schiller's aesthetic theory,so as to eliminate some researchers' misunderstanding of the concept of aesthetic education.The purpose of Schiller's aesthetic education is to make people have more human nature,let sensibility play a role,let people break away from the shackles of reality,let us know and understand people from different aspects,and provide more possibilities for us to understand human freedom.
