Schiller and Aporias of Historiographical Characterology

Summary/Abstract: The assumption of historical dynamics determined as the struggle between tyranny and freedom is decisive for framing of Schiller‘s historical narration. Even though Schiller already underlines the importance of such dynamics in the Preface of his first historiographical work, its traces at the pages of History of the Uprising are not completely obvious. Tyranny and freedom as such are abstract notions, but still notions about which Schiller attempts to tell a story. This paper is an investigation in aporetic of such philosophic-historical storytelling. An example by which such aporetic will be demonstrated is the characterology of two central figures of Schiller's narrative: Phillip II and William of Orange. Analysis of such a characterology should demonstrate the importance of abstract presupposition about the struggle between tyranny and freedom for realization of Schiller's historiographical work, but also it points towards aporetic of such a philosophical-historical endeavor.
