SCHELLING ON EVIL

Abstract

This paper might be considered an attempt to exhibit the original and unique aspects in Schelling’s consideration of the problem of evil within the framework of post-Kantian and post-Enlightenment thought. Fulfilling such a task requires, first of all, an elaboration of the influences on Schelling and of his own motivations concerning the problem of evil, while considering the impacts of Freiheitsschrift on his own philosophy and on later thought; second, a rather long summary of Schelling’s Freiheitsschrift, and third, a comparison of some of the ways in which Kant and Schelling had taken up the problem of evil. Doing so will provide us with the opportunity to take notice of Schelling’s ambition to overcome the mentality which he finds himself in odds with as regards the problem of evil, and hence to emphasise better the original aspects in his thought; and such a task is believed to be fulfilled best through a consideration of Kant-with regard to a comparison on the problem of evilwho manifested thoughts both in compliance and in opposition with the Enlightenment
