Schelling

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mostly brings up Schelling as a counterpoint to Hegel. He recalls the trio at the Tübingen Stift with Hegel and Hölderlin, and the liberty tree they planted in 17901. He presents him as the youngest of the three and yet the most admired, the one who gives the most complete philosophical expression of Romanticism2. He places him within objective idealism, which finds the idea realized in nature, and regards him as the deepest figure in the German tradition of philosophy of nature. He notes that the young Hegel still speaks a Schellingian language of "powers". He locates the break in the Phenomenology of Spirit, which frees Hegel from immediate knowledge: there he reads the irony aimed at an absolute without determination, "the night in which all cows are black"3, and he faults intellectual intuition for reserving the absolute to an elite4. Following Lukács, he sees the old Schelling, called to Berlin to counter Hegel's teaching, as a subtle philosopher of the counter-revolution56. He also mentions the hypothesis that attributes the Nightwatches of Bonaventura to him.
