Around 1800, Schiller and Hölderlin were among the authors who separated literature from philosophy and assigned literature a special status due to its quality of presentation. This study reconstructs their argumentation and uses example literary texts to inquire about its implications for the presentation of individual themes and the formal structure of texts, as well as regarding its applicability to individual genres.
