In the year 1795, Fichte and Schiller begin a controversial exchange of letters that can be understood as the genesis of the investigation about the philosophical writing. Schiller had rejected an article presented by Fichte, also a member of Die Horen magazine, for his hard, rigid and difficult to understand form. The argument is based on the proposal to try to unite the beauty of poetic writing with the search for the expression of truth, commonly found in the concepts of philosophy. Schiller intended to use beauty to develop a more sensible way of presenting and making better understand the ideas of philosophy. Fichte, who had already replayed the epistolary style of letters for Schiller's aesthetic education, began to list the arguments for a rigid, precise, and not poetic style. From then on, writing can be investigated as a legitimate philosophical problem in the light of poetry, science and culture, and the debate around this theme fostered by Schiller as a prelude to his project of an aesthetic education of humanity.
