| Sumari: | In a series of letters written between 1792-93, Kallias, or on Beauty, Friedrich Schiller (1792-93) introduced to western philosophy a new idea surrounding the autonomy of art. The artwork, he argued, is an object that has the unique capacity to appear as self-determining. However, art’s autonomy means not that it is objectively free, i.e. that it is independent of material or historical conditions. Rather, for Schiller, art, by virtue of its own form,gives the appearance of being free. “Beauty”, writes Schiller, “is nothing other than freedom in appearance.”
The essays collected in this anthology are the result of the conference, Kallias, eller om skönheten: om estetik och politik hos Friedrich Schiller [Kallias, or on Beauty: on the aesthetics and politics of Friedrich Schiller], which took place at Södertörn University, Stockholm, in the spring of 2023. The conference was arranged to mark the occasion of the first Swedish translation of the Kallias letters, translated by Gustav Strandberg for 1|21 Press. Swedish and Danish contributors, from the fields of aesthetics and philosophy, investigate the genesis of Schiller’s understanding of the autonomy of art, they explore how his thoughts were received by his own contemporaries, and trace the impact he had on later developments in critical philosophy, as well as consider the importance of Schiller’s letters in our own present. |
