席勒、黑格尔论通向自由的审美教育

Schiller and Hegel on the Aesthetic Education in Freedom

席勒《审美教育书简》开启了一个伟大的哲学时代,他对统一性所做的积极的思考,为克服康德哲学所带来的自然和精神的二元论做了有益的尝试,这些都深刻地影响了黑格尔。他在纽伦堡时期就将审美教育的课程大力引入高中教育,并以此来培养公民的自由意识。艺术作品尽管有自己的局限性,但仍然是对绝对精神的一种感性表达,它体现了精神在他者中依靠自身的存在的绝对力量,因而在任何时代,艺术都是维护自由最核心的方式之一。

Schiller’s On the Aesthetic Education of Man carries extraordinary significance for the great age of philosophy around 1800.Besides Schiller’s enthusiastic notions of unity and the useful attempt to overcome the dualism of nature and spirit which brought about by Kant’s philosophy influenced Hegel’s thinking.In the period of Nuremberg,he introduced the aesthetic education into high school education,and used this to cultivate citizens’freedom consciousness.Despite its own limitations,artistic works are still a perceptual expression of the absolute spirit.It embodies the absolute power of the spirit to rely on its own existence in others.Therefore,in any era,art is the core of safeguarding freedom.
