“Beautiful Soul”. Schiller, Goethe, Hegel.

Beginning with Friedrich Schiller's reflection, the idea of the "beautiful soul" will be regarded as that personality immediately inspired by duty in which sensible impulses spontaneously accord with moral law. In Goethe's work it becomes a literary character that transforms command into impulse. Hegel highlights the other side of the pristine purity of the beautiful soul: its inability to act in the world and to influence its course by its own commitment and industriousness.
