Recent decades have seen a remarkable upsurge of interest in German
Idealism in the English-speaking world. However, out of the three
leading thinkers of the period directly after Kant-Fichte,
Schelling, and Hegel-Schelling has received relatively little
attention. In particular, the distinctive philosophical project of
Schelling's late period, beginning in the 1820s, has been almost
completely ignored. This omission has impaired the overall
understanding of German Idealism. For it is during the late phase
of his work that Schelling develops his influential critique of
Hegel and his definitive response to the central problems
post-Kantian thought as a whole. This book is the first in English
to survey the whole of Schelling's late system, and to explore in
detail the rationale for its division into a "negative philosophy"
and a "positive philosophy." It begins by tracing Schelling's
intellectual development from his early work of the 1790s up to the
threshold of his final phase. It then examines Schelling's mature
conception of the scope of pure thinking, the basis of negative
philosophy, and the nature of the transition to positive
philosophy. In this second, historically oriented enterprise
Schelling explores the deep structure of mythological worldviews
and seeks to explain the epochal shift to the modern universe of
"revelation." Simultaneously, the book offers a sustained
comparison of Hegel's and Schelling's treatment of a range of
central topics in post-Kantian thought: the relation between a
priori thinking and being; the role of religion in human existence;
the inner dynamics of history; and the paradoxical structure of
freedom.
