Reviews

...Beiser's championing of Schiller as a philosopher puts much other critical literature to shame. Its perspicacity and its lucidity are very welcome. Paul Bishop Seminar Beiser's book is a worthy addition to the literature that marked the 150th anniversary of Schiller's death. It will undoubtedly attract a wide readership and will provoke debate among philosophers and literary scholars. David Pugh, Mind For scholars of Schiller, Beiser's new work will be indispensable; for those interested in German intellectual life of the period, it will be a welcome addition to the field. Brian Vick, English Historical Review This is a very good book, which will advance debate not only on Schiller but also on Kant and German Idealism generally. Beiser's attempt to resolve the question of the unity of the Aesthetic Letters is particularly impressive...Beiser's book is a worthy addition to the literature that marked the 150th anniversary of Schiller's death. It will undoubtedly attract a wide readership and will provoke debate among philosophers and literary scholars. David Pugh, Mind a carefully researched, meticulously documented, and clearly written account of one of the insufficiently appreciated philosophical thinkers of the eighteenth century Christopher Adair-Toteff, British Journal for the History of Philosophy ...by taking Schiller seriously as a philosopher Beiser succeeds in revealing the subtlety of his thought and mounts a persuasive case against the narrow representation of his ideas in contemporary Kant scholarship. Jason Gaiger, The Philosophers' Magazine the author has done a tremendous job of reintroducing Schiller and his philosophy to the modern world Brad Eden, Consciousness, Literature and the Arts Beiser's approach and even his arguments mirror the deeply unsettled character of Schiller's thought itself. Robert E Norton, Times Literary Supplement
