Abstract

The beautiful and the sublime are aesthetic categories of varying meaning, especially from their «divorce» in the Kantian Critique of Judgment. Although Friedrich Schiller also devoted several articles to each, it is possible to decipher the common roots and the structural parallels that these two historical concepts hold. In both Kallias and On the Aesthetic Education of Man, as well as On the sublime or On the pathetic, more or less explicit identification keys that point to a semantic contiguity of the beautiful and the sublime can be found. an alternative theory that undoes the sterile compartments into which aesthetics sometimes degenerates could emerge from here.
