Unity between man and nature and that a duality occurs as a dialectic between "person" and "condition."
The beautiful has the ability to reveal human potential (diminshed or supressed by the demands of business and profession). Aesthetic is the way to freedom - "The Aesthetic State" - the totality of human potential. It is an ideal, but stimulates human beings to the optimal realization of their potential- art acts as a mediator for this potential.
physical quality -> sensual condition
logical quality -> ou reason
moral quality -> our will
aesthetic quality -> (relates to sensual condition, reason and will - cultivates harmony)
Schiller opposes anything that threatens the realization of our potential: Repressive political institutions, one-sided cultural developments in which principles dominate feelings or emotions get the better of principles. Art plays a corrective role between physical and intellectual powers- nature and man.
