By Friedrich Schiller (1795)

                                            First Letter to Fifth Letter

   Friedrich Schiller wrote letter Aesthetic Education of Man in 1793 to a friend Christian Friedrich, Prince of Denmark. in 1795 a letter was published and give due consideration to the nature of the aesthetic worth today. This letter is written to the Prince of Denmark and of course it be royal. This letter is also inserted in the language of political philosophy, but I am also a lack of understanding about it. This collection is not easy to read but have a hidden meaning. Although this kind of reading can be challenging for the modern reader, I went through this book and thought provoking book that anyone who reads. This is because the philosophy difficult to describe. If we examine the philosophy and understand our philosophy and learning to appreciate the beauty of the game is valuable, Schiller will be proud of us because his letters effectively. Table of contents written in this letter does not directly, but allegorical, hidden, philosophical, and it is also beautiful and there is art and people.

   This book touches on various topics, we know there is often related to aesthetics. However, the letter consider the nature of beauty and art and its relationship with humans. Beauty is one of physical beauty, which means the envelope with the intellectual and moral beauty. Intellectual beauty, real beauty, can only have the principle that all truth. Understand the moral beauty of two different elements, the beautiful, justice and welfare. Therefore God is the principle of three orders of beauty, physical, intellectual, and moral.

    According to my reading, for beauty, Schiller seems to arise as a synthesis between opposing principles "the highest ideal to be sought in perhaps the most perfect unity and balance of reality and nature". Among the features that beauty is the first pleasure of getting free of interest. Beauty both appear to us as the object of general excitement, without awaken our awareness of abstract ideas and categories because of us would refer to the judgment. Third beauty must embrace to meet the end of the relationship itself, but in a dry manner of compliance that must be defended without ideas offered to mind the end.

   Although it is not accompanied by an abstract idea, should be acknowledged as the object of beauty that should be fun. In the letter he stated that the beauty of meditation work for free, and in entering into the world of ideas, but without leaving the world to taste. Beauty is to me an object, and yet at the same time the subjectivity. Beauty is the form that we consider, and life as we think, in a word, it is thus the state and the arts. And it is precisely because it serves as evidence of a victory of suffering does not include the activity, matter or form, or limitation that is not finite, to enjoy both the beauty of nature are united, and that this is not proved that the finite capacity developed in the finite, and accordingly the possibility of supplement humanity. The statement specified was found in the letters written by Schiller. There are aspects of beauty in his extensive letter.

    Not only that, Schiller discusses the ideal of human nature and how the motivation for the game to interact with nature, especially human and rational aspect in juxtaposition form a sensation in itself. Overlap, is discussed at length with the synthesis described in terms that suggest transcendence that culminated in our humanity. Man and nature is essential for Schiller as his reason for writing his letter, but "the first appearance of Man is no longer reason in the beginning of humanity. Last was not decided until he is free".

   In addition, through discussions of art and fine art work Schiller brings us closer to the concept of what art means to people and the importance of human concepts. Schiller admired many see the role of history and art and freedom of discussion is important in art. Very extensive discussion of art and according to Schiller, freedom is achieved when the sensual and rational in a fully integrated human but his aesthetic disposition is seen as coming from the City. This letter provides the blood that is rich in ideas from which the reader is intelligent, ambitious and careful attention can find inspiration in aesthetic considerations and the nature of the artwork in his letters. Anyone interested in reviewing the reading is suitable to read his letters as there are a lot of beauty and art and aesthetic letter. I mean this  letter discusses about the art as the ideal of human nature and how the motivation for the game to interact with nature and with beauty. Man and nature are not cut off.

   In conclusion, this book is difficult to understand, but it is interesting study because many aspects of aesthetics can be studied in a letter written by Friedrich Schiller, entitled "On the Aesthetic Education of Man" is very confusing for me to understand even the first letter to read from the fifth letter. There are many aspects of aesthetics and philosophy set out and very difficult for me to understand. However, this is all that I am able to understand to delve into the story from a letter written by him. Many of the issues stated that the allegorical-philosophical analogies and difficult to understand. This book is very interesting and challenging for me to understand. Verse and contents are very interesting and full of research for me.
