%0 Journal Article %T £¿Una superaci¨®n est¨¦tica del deber?: La cr¨ªtica de Schiller a Kant %A Acosta L¨®pez %A Mar¨ªa del Rosario %J EPISTEME %D 2008 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X the following paper explores the different nuances that become visible with a more attentive reading of schiller£¿s criticism of kant£¿s practical philosophy as it is exposed in his essays on grace and dignity (1793), the letters on the aesthetic education of man (1795) and on the sublime (1796-1801). the idea is to show a more accurate interpretation of schiller£¿s comments to the kantian notion of freedom, since it has been misunderstood, if not ignored, by the mainstream of the kantian tradition. the paper focuses in explaining what does an £¿aesthetic overcoming of duty£¿ mean in schiller£¿s terms and how is this closely related to a possible reading of kantian philosophy, explored by philosophers like ezra heymann. the final purpose of the essay is to rescue a much more careful reading of the kantian practical proposal, enlightened by a more contemporary approach. %K duty %K aesthetic freedom %K moral freedom. %U http://www.scielo.org.ve/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0798-43242008000200003&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
