Abstract
Poetry was central to the work of both Friedrich Schlegel and Schopenhauer. I analyze the role poetry played in each thinker’s work, arguing that in both thinkers we find the development of a kind of aesthetic humanism born of their deep respect for the role of poetry in philosophy.
With thanks to Sandy Shapshay for valuable comments.
