The Causal Necessity of Art

Schiller says that a free human being is more beautiful. But it's not clear to me that the aesthetic does all that work, he writes. What I think Schiller is saying here is that this sort of aesthetic freedom is a bridging mechanism to moral, rational freedom. He emphasizes that there is a determination in a way to what reason is doing. The only way to freedom is through a type of constraint by our desires and condenses them into reasons.
