This is the first translation into English of an important early
work of the German idealist philosopher F.W.J. Schelling.
"Philosophy and Religion "(1804) is considered a precursor to his
major work on freedom, his "Philosophical Inquiries into the Nature
of Human Freedom "(1809). In "Philosophy and Religion," Schelling
raises the question of how philosophy can come to terms with the
failure of approaching the highest principle of being, the Absolute
(or God), rationally. He argues that the only possibility of
recognizing the Absolute lies in intellectual intuition, which goes
beyond presentiment or religious intuition. For Schelling, it is
the task of philosophy to lead the soul towards the intuition of
the Infinite: "All philosophy begins . . . with an animated idea of
the Absolute." In recent years, Schelling's philosophical ideas
have been adopted by contemporary thinkers such as the Slovenian
philosopher and psychoanalytic theorist Slavoj Zižek and the French
theorist of "Non- Philosophy," Francois Laruelle.
