The object of the play drive is the living form. In contemplation of the beautiful, it allows man and woman to become most human.
To understand how Schiller reaches this conclusion, one must trace the origins of life and form, as a function of the two drives that the play drive mediates:
- the form drive and
- the sense drive.
These two drives are themselves functions of a human being's person and condition, which Schiller initially describes in terms of the absolute and time.
