Harmonious Tensions
註釋This book is the first to investigate the thematics, form, and function of the writings of Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) in light of his multidisciplinary activities. The term "harmonious tension" stems from the Jewish-German intellectual Moses Mendelssohn, to whom Schiller was indebted. The central symbol for the tension-killed integration of literature, physiology, philosophy, history, and music in Schiller's oeuvre is the stringed instrument. Schiller's knowledge of the problems of rupture, dissociation, and disintegration marking modern history both before and after the French Revolution inform the vast majority of his works. The writer's conscious awareness of the limits of his own theorizing works against the popular image of Schiller as an idealist.
