A TASK FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY
SCHILLER AND THE FORMATIVE POTENTIALS OF AESTHETIC EDUCATION
Keywords:
Aesthetic education, Formation, SchillerAbstract
Written in the late eighteenth century, in the work Letters upon the aesthetic education of man,
Schiller goes beyond the discussion of art by identifying the urgent need for aesthetic education as a
cure for the ills brought by modernity. In this article, we seek to reconstruct the formative conception
that supports the discussion present in the Letters, seeking to demonstrate the relevance of its
educational premises. For that, we studied the historical conceptions that influenced the writing of the
Letters, as well as the central concepts that base their conception of aesthetic education. We also
analyzed the role of aesthetic education as a counterpoint to fragmentation and in questioning the place
of sensitivity in training. With such a study, we hope to highlight the importance of Schillerian aesthetic
education in the current context by recovering critical and emancipatory aspects of art as human
formation and projection of an expanded rationality
