席勒论美是人的第二创造者

席勒对美的人类学功能作了一个概括的说明,那就是:美是人的第二创造者。这应该说是对美的人类学功能的最剀切的概括,他把美实现人性完整、恢复现代人的人性完整性的功能阐述得非常具体、鲜明、生动,把美比喻为人的创造者,与人的第一创造者———大自然相类似的第二创造者,作为人的创造者———不论是大自然还是美,都是给与人类以达到人性的能力。换句话说,美是给人以审美的可规定性。

Schiller's statements on beauty is the second creator of human

Schiller had most properly generalized the anthropologic function of art that beauty is the second creator of human being. He expounded the functions of beauty in realizing humanity integrity and resuming modern people's humanity integrity. He also compared beauty to the second creator of human,functionally similar to its first creator-the nature.Being creators of human, both nature and beauty give human being the ability to achieve humanity,that is to say, beauty entrusts human the ability to determine aesthetic judgement.
