Confusers review of Friedrich Schiller's letters on aesthetic education
3 stars
I think it gets a lot of things right, albeit in a confusing and wordy way. I was already exposed to all the ideas in the book through Tibetan Buddhism previously so it was not too difficult to follow along but I could see many people struggling a lot. I think it is very interesting that this person was thinking about the same threads of life that the Tibetans had been but as far as I can tell he knew of no such things prior to creating this. I think Friedrich Schiller got stuck in the particular way he was wording this framework because there are some more areas which he could apply his thinking to but seemed to just keeping saying similar things in more and more ways.
