However, such good intentions often turn out strangely. As I indicated elsewhere and therefore did not repeat in this book, among the greatest of these works are the philosophical writings of Schiller, for instance, his *Letters the Aesthetic Education of Man*.[^5] Indeed, those who have read these letters with deep sympathy have done a great deal for the life of their soul. Several people have made efforts to draw the public's attention to the philosophical writings of Schiller. One of them was Heinrich Deinhardt from Vienna.[^6] In the 1860s, he wrote a splendid, extraordinarily profound little book on Schiller's world view. I don't think you can still get it in bookstores, except possibly an old, used copy in a second-hand store. It is out of print and was probably remaindered a long time ago, for nobody read what Deinhardt had to say about Schiller even though his book is one of the best things written about Schiller. Deinhardt was a teacher in Vienna whom the world has forgotten. He once had the misfortune to break his leg. Although his broken leg was set carefully, he could not get well again because he was undernourished. This man wrote one of the best books on Schiller, doubtlessly better than all the nonsense written since then, and yet he had to starve. That's the way of the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Jahrhunderts von Geistern des Abendlandes zutage gefördert worden ist, Großes, Bedeutsames. Aber mit all diesen Bestrebungen geht es ja ganz sonderbar. Zu dem Größten - ich habe in anderem Zusammenhang darauf hingewiesen, in diesem Buche war es nicht notwendig, noch einmal darauf zurückzukommen - gehören die philosophischen Schriften Schillers, zum Beispiel die Briefe «Über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen». Man kann sagen, wer das mit innerem Anteil gelesen hat, hat außerordentlich viel für das Leben seiner Seele getan. Es haben sich ja verschiedene Leute Mühe gegeben, die Menschen hinzuweisen auf die philosophischen Schriften Schillers. Deinhardt war solch einer, der in Wien lebende Heinrich Deinhardt. Er hat ein schönes, außerordentlich geistvolles Büchelchen geschrieben über Schillers Weltanschauung in den Sechzigerjahren des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ich glaube nicht, daß Sie es irgendwo bekommen, es ist längst eingestampft, höchstens irgendwo ein verlorenes antiquarisches Exemplar, denn gelesen hat das, was Deinhardt über Schiller geschrieben hat, das zu dem Besten gehört, was über Schiller geschrieben worden ist, niemand! Aber der Mann war ein vergessener Lehrer in Wien, der das Malheur gehabt hat, sich einmal ein Bein zu brechen, und, trotzdem es mit Sorgfalt eingerichtet worden ist, konnte er nicht gesund werden, weil er zu schlecht ernährt war. Der Mann hat eines der besten Bücher über Schiller geschrieben, ein Buch, das sicherlich besser ist, als alle die zahlreichen QuatschSchriften, die später über Schiller geschrieben worden sind; aber er mußte verhungern.
