schiller

[Dave Monroe]

Not much familiar with him, but he IS coming up quite
a bit recently.  See, e.g., ...

Eagleton, Terry.  The Ideology of the Aesthetic.
   Cambridge, MA: Basil Blackwell, 1990.

Richards, Robert J.  The Romantic Conception of Life:
   Science and Philosophy in the Age of Goethe.
   Chicago: U of Chicago P, 2002.    

Sychrava, Julia.  Schiller to Derrida: Idealism
   in Aesthetics.  NY: Cambridge UP, 1989.

Wheeler, Kathleen M., ed.  German Aesthetic and
   Literary Criticism: The Romantic Ironists and
   Goethe.  NY: Cambridge UP, 1984. 

And this might be useful as well ...

Critchley, Simon.  Continental Philosophy: A Very
   Short Introduction.  NY: Oxford UP, 2001.

Indeed.  As I recall, Critchley STARTS with Schiller
and Derrida.  And for those playing along at home ...

J.C. Friedrich von Schiller, Letters Upon The
Aesthetic Education of Man (1794) ...
