Abstract
Description
El artículo destaca la actualidad de las Cartas filosóficas de Schiller en su crítica a la educación impartida por la cultura de su época, posterior a la Revolución francesa y al Régimen del Terror, en su afán por fomentar la fragmentación de las facultades del hombre, la sensibilidad y el entendimiento, dando ocasión al salvajismo y la barbarie. Ante esta realidad, señala cómo Schiller propone una educación estética tendiente a la formación del carácter del hombre, y desde allí surge el planteamiento sobre la necesidad de dar un paso atrás desde el estado físico al estado estético, donde la reflexión sobre la belleza y el arte supriman en el hombre la coacción del sentir y el pensar y, en cambio, permitan su acción recíproca tendiente a la conquista de una armonía entre ambos. Subraya, especialmente, el concepto de estado estético en cuanto posibilita la restitución en el hombre de su humanidad y libertad y, a su vez, constituye un tránsito para acceder a los fines morales, didácticos y políticos. Todavía hoy resuena el pensamiento de Schiller sobre la necesidad de formar estética y moralmente al individuo para realizar una transformación política del Estado, porque este inicialmente jamás engendrará ciudadanos libres.
This article the current state of Schiller's Philosophical Letters as a critique of the education imparted by the culture of his time after the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror which, in its eagerness to cause the fragmentation of the faculties of humans, sensitivity and understanding, gave rise to savagery and barbarism. Facing this reality, this shows how Schiller proposed an aesthetic education aiming at forming human character. It is here where an approach emerges which proposes the need to step back from the physical state and into the aesthetic state, where the coercion that feeling and thinking exercise on humans is nullified by the reflection on beauty and art, which enables a reciprocal action between them and ultimately causes them to harmonize. The concept of aesthetic state is also highlighted as it enables the restoration of the humanity and freedom of mankind while also being a means to access moral, didactic and political ends. Even today, Schiller's thinking on the need to educate individuals aesthetically and morally in order to achieve a political transformation of the state still echoes because the latter will initially not produce free citizens.
