In this, one of his chief philosophical writings, Schiller attempts to develop Kant's theory of art to the conclusion that 'Beauty' and 'Play' together constitute the ethical ideal.

This is a particularly: acclaimed translation of Schiller's prose, which successfully captures his characteristically poetic style.
