Jacques Rancière, who has recently published many books on art and aesthetics, shows great interest in Friedrich Schiller’s Aesthetic Letters as one of the turning points in art history. In particular, Ran- cière focuses on Schiller’s description of the beauty of an ancient statue, the Juno Ludovisi, regarding this description as the first and best example of “the aesthetic regime of art,” which regulates our perception of art up to this day. By investigating Rancière’s reading of Schiller, this paper aims to point out that he reinterpretes Schiller’s Aesthetic Letters in such a way as to extract from it thoughts about a more fundamental revolution than Schiller’s.
