Schelling's Late Philosophy in Confrontation with Hegel
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-006912-4 (ISBN)
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.
Peter Dews taught philosophy at the University of Essex for several decades before becoming Emeritus Professor in 2018. He has also held visiting positions in the United States, Germany, and Brazil. He has published widely on modern French philosophy, the Frankfurt School, and the major thinkers of German Idealism.
