Descripción
Sumario:The aim of this paper is to describe how F. Schlegel develops F. Schiller’s conception of the modern art and to show how he, by reflecting on modernity, leaves out the ideal of beauty from aesthetics and develops a wider range of possibilities for what could be recognized as a work of art. Schlegel goes beyond Schiller’s project of an aesthetic education, because his way of thinking about art opens more possibility for dialogue and inclusion than Schiller’s model based on beauty. This will allow us to see that Schlegel’s romanticism as an aesthetic theory can be very useful and fruitful to us in contemporary era.
