Description

Schelling's Mystical Platonism 1792-1802 by Naomi Fisher provides a cohesive interpretation of the philosopher's work from 1792-1802. This book explores Schelling's commitment to mysticism regarding the absolute, which posits that the absolute is ineffable and remains inferentially external to any given philosophical system. Schelling's philosophy during this period is also guided by a priority monism, where all things are grounded in the absolute, yet finite things possess an integral unity of their own. This book presents Schelling's philosophy as a coherent project that fulfils the distinctive aims of post-Kantian philosophy. Fisher's interpretation challenges prevailing readings of Schelling's philosophy, which often suggest a shift in basic commitments during this time. Instead, Schelling's appropriations of various strands of Platonism distinguish him from his contemporaries and give rise to his unique approach to post-Kantian philosophy.
