Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775-1854) spent his
philosophical career striving to realize the Absolute system, but
he did so in full recognition of the fact that the Absolute is not
finally a logical system, but a living actuality. Accordingly, for
Schelling, "life is the criterion of truth." Though his critics
often dismissed his thought as fragmentary and protean, C. S.
Peirce, in a letter to William James, remarked that it was
precisely Schelling's "freedom from the trammels of system" and
willingness to approach philosophical ideas experimentally rather
than dogmatically that he admired most: "In that, he is like a
scientific man." This book, written in the context of a resurgence
of interest in Schelling's work, as well as during a planetary
ecological emergency and geo-political crisis, draws upon the deep
well of his thought in the hope that it can aid human
civilization's attempt to re-imagine itself. Schelling's philosophy
provides many of the anthropological, theological, and cosmological
resources necessary for bringing forth an alternative form of
modernity no longer bent on the destruction of earth and the
disintegration of human communities.
