In this paper I analyse F. Schiller’s conception of recognition. This conception has been hitherto ignored by the studies on the history of philosophy and by the contemporary debate on recognition. The thesis of the present paper is that Schiller’s reflexions about the question on recognition opens up the possibility for recognizing the other in its otherness and/or uniqueness. Accordingly, the present paper attempts not only at a revision and improvement of the vision we have about Eighteenth Century German Philosophy, but also at offering a new point of view from which the contemporary debate can be critically analysed
