SCHILLER, FRIEDRICH

1759–1805

Aesthetic Education (The Manual of Arrival)

Schiller: humanity is reconciled to itself only through play, and play is reached through aesthetic education. Vol. I, Part II — The Manual of Arrival — is Schillerian in default. The Liturgy is play; the play is education; the education reconciles the artist to the institution and the institution to the city. The play is not light. It is the most serious labor available, performed at the only register that can hold it.
