ACOSTA LOPEZ, MARIA DEL ROSARIO. TOWARDS AN AESTHETIC DIMENSION OF CRITIQUE THE TIME OF THE BEAUTIFUL IN FRIEDRICH SCHILLER'S LETTERS ON AESTHETIC EDUCATION. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2022, vol.71, suppl.9, pp.119-142.  Epub June 25, 2024. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v71n9supl.106745.

This article proposes to trace Schiller's interpretation in the Aesthetic Letters of Kant's pure judgement of taste in connection to a suspension of all determination that makes the experience of beauty possible. For Schiller, this analysis conducts to a temporality of the beautiful experienced as suspension, which becomes itself a suspension of temporality as such. This paper shows the importance of this interpretation of temporality for Schiller's conception of aesthetic critique, related to aesthetic experience's capacity to deactivate forms of violence that, according to the diagnosis Schiller proposes in the Letters, saturate his historical present. Thus, this article shows the relevance of Schiller's aesthetics for a philosophical historical conception of critique.

Keywords : F. Schiller; beauty; critique; aesthetic dimension; suspension.
