Biography of Schillers work
Alexander Kotov translator, philologist-literary critic, laureate of prestigious awards in the field of literature and education, including nominal scholarships named after Solzhenitsyna and A. Schiller talked well with Johann Goethe. They were the authors-gumanists, it was important for them to show the divinity of human nature. Neither the name, nor tradition, nor nobility can elevate a person.
Any worthy person who lives in harmony with his heart carries this divinity. The author is sure that the state should review its relations with people. A noble heart is a stronger argument than nobility. Through it, this idea can become a reality. All his life, Schiller tried through creativity to influence reality. When a humanistic idea appears in his head, it is embodied in his work.
The same was his dissertation, which we talked about earlier. Thanks to his views, Schiller was popular among the progressive society of that time.

When the messengers caught up with Schiller, he abandoned the document. The poet said that he, even if the poet is fighting for freedom, but only the freedom of the people of Germany is worried, and he is not going to have anything to do with the new French republic. He wanted to achieve the liberation of man and the restructuring of society. He tried to "build" a new person through his work.
But when it happened in France, he was horrified, because he actually wanted not this. This is the seal of the whole life of the poet and his work: he stubbornly fought for his ideas and goals, but when he achieved specific results, he was afraid of them.
In hison, Schiller remained a poet. Many representatives of art lived there, including Goethe, with whom Schiller had a strong friendship. Later they began to be called representatives of Weimar classicism. After moving, Schiller took up the publication of several literary magazines.
