Summary/Abstract: According to Friedrich Schlegel’s early-romanticist philosophy, any creative process emerges and fulfils its potential owing to contradictions being incessantly mutually conditioned. A description of creative process and a description of the shaping of one’s own humanity (Bildung) every so often prove to be overlapping or affecting each other. The process of creating a work is approachable as a symbol or intensification of the course of any human shaping. Human life is perceived as one always getting formed in a tension between finiteness and infiniteness. The artist presents this tension, in an essential fashion, and builds upon it.
