Fred Beiser, renowned as one of the world's leading historians of German philosophy, presents a brilliant new study of Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805), rehabilitating him as a philosopher worthy of serious attention. Beiser shows, in particular, that Schiller's engagement with Kant is far more subtle and rewarding than is often portrayed. Promising to be a landmark in the study of German thought, Schiller as Philosopher will be compulsory reading for any philosopher, historian, or literary scholar engaged with the key developments of this fertile period.

Industry Reviews

`Review from previous edition 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
