Composições estéticas entre Schiller e Nietzsche sobre a formação humana: contribuições à prática educativa

Abstract

When talking about aesthetics what is the first image that comes to mind? To each person we ask this question we may have a different answer, due to the plasticity of the term. In the face of this plasticity, the present research has as main point to discuss the role of aesthetics in human formation, weaving a compositional interlude between some aspects of two philosophical theories that compare the importance of art and human formation from the aesthetic point of view, namely, the aesthetic of Friedrich von Schiller presented mainly in his works Letters Upon The Aesthetic Education of Man and Naive and sentimental Poetry, as well as the aesthetic theory of Friedrich Nietzsche diluted in works such as The Birth of Tragedy, Philosophy in the tragic age of the greeks and Human, all too human. The debate made between these thinkers and their aesthetic perspectives will cross their main conceptions about aesthetics, trying to glimpse at what points these philosophical theories are, for a possible visualization of aesthetics as an element amalgamated to the formative practices. Faced with this, and taking the aesthetic as the cornerstone of the full formation of the human being, a pillar that has been buried, we have the task of emphasizing its formative value in education. Through the sensitive prism of these thinkers, we will see the beam of light that will help us reflect on how aesthetics is amalgamated into education, understood here broadly as formation.
