Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) was a German
poet, dramatist, philosopher and historian. Schiller wrote
philosophical papers on aesthetics and ethics. He developed the
concept of Schone Seele which translates to beautiful soul.
Schiller said that a human being whose emotions have been educated
by his reason view beauty and inclination as no longer in conflict
with each other. Beauty is not merely sensual but moral as well.
The Ghost Seer or the Apparitionist and Sport of Destiny begins
with these words. I am about to relate an adventure which to many
will appear incredible, but of which I was in great part an
eye-witness. The few who are acquainted with a certain political
event will, if indeed these pages should happen to find them alive,
receive a welcome solution thereof. And, even to the rest of my
readers, it will be, perhaps, important as a contribution to the
history of the deception and aberrations of the human intellect.
The boldness of the schemes which malice is able to contemplate and
to carry out must excite astonishment, as must also the means of
which it can avail itself to accomplish its aims. Clear,
unvarnished truth shall guide my pen; for, when these pages come
before the public, I shall be no more, and shall therefore never
learn their fate.
