About Friedrich Schiller

  • Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (German: ['jo?han 'k??st?f 'f?i?d??ç f?n '??l?]; 10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) was a German poet, philosopher, physician, historian and playwright.
  • During the last seventeen years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller developed a productive, if complicated, friendship with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
  • They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches.
  • This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism.
  • They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents of their philosophical vision.
