Overview

Excerpt from Parallel Themes and Their Treatment in Schiller and Shaftesbury My aim in this study is chiefly expositional; I seek to present the essential similarities in the central themes of Schiller and of Shaftesbury and to describe the manner in which these themes are treated, hence no attempt is made to take up the writings chronologically, or to determine the validity of any theme for the complete structure of either writer. It is not my purpose to attempt to prove that Schiller borrowed, or did not borrow, his doctrines from Shaftesbury; moreover, I believe that one's attitude on such questions, where the evidence is so obviously conjectural and slight, is at most matter for personal preference, certainly it does not permit of scientific establishment.
