Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller 1759-1805 was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and dramatist. Schiller wrote many philosophical papers on ethics and aesthetics. He developed the concept of the Schne Seele beautiful soul , a human being whose emotions have been educated by his reason, so that Pflicht und Neigung duty and inclination are no longer in conflict with one another; thus 'beauty,' for Schiller, is not merely a sensual experience, but a moral one as well: the Good is the Beautiful. His philosophical work was also particularly concerned with the question of human freedom, a preoccupation which also guided his historical researches. Schiller is considered by most Germans to be Germanys most important classical playwright. Critics have noted his innovative use of dramatic structure and his creation of new forms, such as the melodrama and the bourgeois tragedy. Amongst his famous works are Love and Intrigue 1784 , Don Carlos 1787 , The Minister 1796 , The Death of Wallenstein 1799 , The Piccolomini 1800 and Mary Stuart 1800 .
