Translated here into English for the first time, F. W. J.
Schelling's 1842 lectures on the Philosophy of Mythology are an
early example of interdisciplinary thinking. In seeking to show the
development of the concept of the divine Godhead in and through
various mythological systems (particularly of ancient Greece,
Egypt, and the Near East), Schelling develops the idea that many
philosophical concepts are born of religious-mythological notions.
In so doing, he brings together the essential relatedness of the
development of philosophical systems, human language, history,
ancient art forms, and religious thought. Along the way, he engages
in analyses of modern philosophical views about the origins of
philosophy's conceptual abstractions, as well as literary and
philological analyses of ancient literature and poetry.
