- Schiller's philosophy was very similar to and often aligned with the pragmatism of William James, although Schiller referred to it as "humanism". He argued vigorously against both logical positivism and associated philosophers (for example, Bertrand Russell) as well as absolute idealism (such as F. H. Bradley).

Both Schiller's theory of truth and meaning (i.e. Schiller's pragmatism) derive their justification from an examination of thought from what he calls his humanist viewpoint (his new name for concrete metaphysics).
Abstract. The British philosopher F. C. S. Schiller (1864–1937) was a leading pragmatist in the early twentieth century. His critiques of formal logic and his attempts to construct a humanist logic, derived from an anti-foundationalist humanism, are recognized as lasting philosophical achievements.
Schiller’s humanistic coloring of idealism provided a middle way between naturalism, especially reductionist forms in which humans are reduced to a pile of atoms, and more absolute idealisms that leave out the human element.
Aug 9, 2020 · In this paper, I shall argue that it is Schiller's conception of freedom of the will as “heautonomy” that stands behind his critique and modification of Kant's ethics. However, the systematic significance of Schiller's theory of freedom is not obvious.

Examining Schiller’s Kantianism and the concepts of religious humanism, autonomy, providence, immanence and transcendence, we arrive at the general conclusion that he was among the first humanists in the German tradition to remove the religious dimension of ethics.
Schiller’s thought is radically anthropocentric. In this chapter, I will discuss his notions of pragmatism and humanism, as well as his idea of the making of truth and reality. Furthermore, I will seek to elucidate why his texts are important if one tries to grasp the idea of a postmetaphysical poeticized culture.
