""An excellent translation of a challenging but important text. The notes are extremely helpful for the reader in navigating Schelling's extensive (and often obscure) references in multiple languages. The commentary clearly reflects extensive research and is a substantial contribution to Schelling scholarship. Finally, the essays provide useful historical background and provocative commentary that help the reader interpret the text philosophically. Without question, an impressive achievement.""—Mark J. Thomas, author of Freedom and Ground: A Study of Schelling's Treatise on Freedom
