Schelling, Schiller, Schlegel, and Hermann

All of these authors, "view human nature as divided between sense and reason, all engage with Greek tragedy as a representation of the limits of human reason, and all understand tragedy through the Kantian concept of the sublime as a relation of freedom and necessity." ~Joshua Billings, Genealogy of the Tragic, pg. 103

"Idealism's focus on freedom in tragedy allows it to argue that tragedy of all art forms represents the possibilities of human action at their fullest." Joshua Billings, Genealogy of the Tragic, pg. 104
