One more philosopher who was working over the problem of aesthetics is Schiller. His famous work is “On the Aesthetic Education of Man”. In this work he states that individuals hold two strong drives. The first drive is sensuous and it is the result of man’s physical existence. It is meticulous, subjective and diverse. As for the second drive, it is formal, depending upon man’s rationality. First of all it is defined by morality, harmony, laws and state. All these drivers have positive aspects, but can not exist in the individuality without any negative consequences.
They can influence individual in both, negative and positive ways. As a result, these two drives are joined and balanced by the aesthetic process and Schiller calls this process play-drive. The play-drive has the aim to give the personality a moment of freedom from nature and politics and also provides with capability to reflect. When two drives stand together for representation, the psyche leaves behind the sensation to thought all the way through middle disposition. In this middle disposition common sense and cause are both active at the same time. He names this condition of real and active determinability the aesthetic condition.
There are no definite characteristics of play-drive. It does not fully depend upon sensuous drive or formal drive; that is why it can combine the best features of both. Taking into consideration this statement, the individual creates the completeness between these two drives. In this case he has an opinion similar to that of Kant.
Schiller was also very influential person and his works were the basis of many psychological questions. His subjectivity, in the type of the sensuous drive, plays very important role in studying the aesthetic process. Together with the work of Kant, his work was very important contribution in the studying of aesthetic process.
