Reviews

"""Highly recommended."" - CHOICE ""F. W. J. Schelling remains a uniquely passionate, daring, and untimely philosopher. Now, more than 150 years after these lectures were given in Berlin, his time has come. This material is always intriguing and often thrilling. Schelling's fertile imagination and prodigious learning are on full display here. Not only will those seeking a thought-provoking philosophy of mythology find this book rewarding, but also readers with interest in the philosophy of history, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of religion will be quickened by Schelling's forays in these areas. The translators, who have also provided copious notes and a glossary, have provided a genuine service."" - Bernard Freydberg, author of Imagination in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason"
