"THE GREATER PART OF MEN ARE MUCH TOO EXHAUSTED AND ENERVATED BY THEIR STRUGGLE WITH WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN A NEW AND SEVERE CONTEST WITH ERROR. SATISFIED IF THEY THEMSELVES CAN ESCAPE FROM THE HARD LABOUR OF THOUGHT, THEY WILLINGLY ABANDON TO OTHERS THE GUARDIANSHIP OF THEIR THOUGHTS."
FRIEDRICH SCHILLER
FRIEDRICH SCHILLER WAS A GERMAN PLAYWRIGHT, POET, AND PHILOSOPHER. DURING THE LAST SEVENTEEN YEARS OF HIS LIFE (1788–1805), SCHILLER DEVELOPED A PRODUCTIVE, IF COMPLICATED, FRIENDSHIP WITH THE ALREADY FAMOUS AND INFLUENTIAL JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE. THEY FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED ISSUES CONCERNING AESTHETICS, AND SCHILLER ENCOURAGED GOETHE TO FINISH WORKS THAT HE HAD LEFT AS SKETCHES. THIS RELATIONSHIP AND THESE DISCUSSIONS LED TO A PERIOD NOW REFERRED TO AS WEIMAR CLASSICISM. THEY ALSO WORKED TOGETHER ON XENIEN, A COLLECTION OF SHORT SATIRICAL POEMS IN WHICH BOTH SCHILLER AND GOETHE CHALLENGE OPPONENTS OF THEIR PHILOSOPHICAL VISION. #innabesedina #historyandphilosophy #friedrichschiller #philosophy #education #selfdevelopment #selfeducation #aesthetics #weimarclassicism #romanticism #ethics #wisdom #wisdomquotes #schiller #germanphilosophy #knowledge #cognition #moralphilosophy #politicalphilosophy #metaphysics #studying #beautifulquotes #beautiful #wisdom #wisdomquotes #selfgrowth #interesting #philosophical #philosophicalthoughts #beautiful #beautifulthoughts #educational #educationalvideo #philosophicalreflections #philosophicalvideo #philosophicalideas #reflections #philosophicalquotes
