Abstract

The general aim of this study is to analyze the debate about the role of literature and intellectuals between the authors Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) and Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805), considered to be the main representatives of the aesthetic trend known as German romanticism. As such, it is possible to relate history, literature and modernity to the extent that these writers, through opinion articles, correspondence and novels, used writing as a tool to criticize the spread of Illuminism rationalism in Germany during the transition from the 18th to the 19th century. Therefore, by analyzing the debates between Schiller and Goethe, present in the correspondence exchanged between the two authors between 1794 and 1803, we will address issues such as networks of intellectual sociability and cultural tensions between the universalist tendencies of the Illuminism and the reading that German romanticism carried out of Reason
