We might even say that the modern French Romantic drama was, in great measure, a result of the grafting of Schiller's theatre on that of Voltaire. As a historian, a thinker, and a morahst, Schiller belongs no less completely than as a poet to the eighteenth century. He is not to be classed with the pioneers who discovered new worlds, with Rousseau, Diderot, and Herder, but rather with the " completers of an age," with Pope and Johnson, Voltaire and Lessing; he fitted, we might say, new bricks i...nto the struc- ture of eighteenth-century thought, but he con- ceived no new turrets, planned no new wings. Like Lessing before him, Schiller had the typical mind of the " Aufklarung " which demanded satis- faction and certainty, law and order ; he felt too keenly the need of logical satisfaction to realise that the epoch-making element in Kant's think- ing was not that it solved metaphysical problems, but that it opened up abysses in the intellectual CONCLUSION. 133 life hitherto unsuspected, and that, by creating broken ends, destroyed the vicious circles in which the eighteenth century had so complac- ently moved.
