Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling is widely regarded as one of
the most difficult and influential of German philosophers. In this
book, S. J. McGrath not only makes Schelling's ideas accessible to
a general audience, he uncovers the romantic philosopher's seminal
role as the creator of a concept which shaped and defined late
nineteenth- and early twentieth-century psychology: the concept of
the unconscious.
McGrath shows how the unconscious originally functioned in
Schelling's philosophy as a bridge between nature and spirit.
Before Freud revised the concept to fit his psychopathology, the
unconscious was understood largely along Schellingian lines as
primarily a source of creative power. Schelling's life-long effort
to understand intuitive and non-reflective forms of intelligence in
nature, humankind and the divine has been revitalised by Jungians,
as well as by archetypal and trans-personal psychologists. With the
new interest in the unconscious today, Schelling's ideas have never
been more relevant.
The Dark Ground of Spirit will therefore be essential reading
for those involved in psychoanalysis, analytical psychology and
philosophy, as well as anyone with an interest in the history of
ideas.
