Book Description
Schelling s late positive philosophy of mythology and revelation tackles the question of nihilism in a way that easily adapts itself to its contemporary form concern over the surpassing of onto-theology or metaphysics of presence. Tyler Tritten argues that Schelling s philosophy easily lends itself to the question of presence, because it is in fact Schelling who first surpasses this tradition within philosophy and not just by means of mysticism or theosophism. The author posits Schelling as the precursor to both materialistic and existentialistic criticisms of idealism, and via Schopenhauer even Nietzsche s and others philosophies of the will. This book shows how Schelling s late positive philosophy surpassed, rather than fulfilled (which is the Schulzian thesis) German Idealism and helped to institute its successors.”
