Abstract

According to Schlegel, truth must be absolute, and attainment of the absolute by philosophical categories is not possible in the way that was common among the philosophers of German idealism of the time. Schlegel defines consciousness as a historical consciousness that manifests itself in the heart of culture in different historical periods. This culture includes works of art, rituals and symbols of each period. Absolute is neither pure consciousness nor infinite nature, but there is a place between the two. Absolute for Schlegel is a harmony formed by a universal consciousness. Schlegel considers this harmony to be Bildung, which is in fact the basis of absoluteness. Everything that grows and emerges from the heart of the Absolute is in harmony and order. In Schlegel's philosophy, Bildung replaces philosophical categories and rules to create the absolute. To achieve a harmony like nature, man must benefit from an education. Schlegel's education is an artistic building that connects love, morality and mysticism within itself.
