Schelling: Philosophy of art and tragedy

Abstract

After the copernican rotation carried out by Kant, Schelling, in the widest context of the german idealism, thought about the metaphysical aspirations of thinking since its confrontation with art. Schelling considers the philosophy of art as the organonon f trascendental philosophy. For him, the totality of of knowledge con be obtained only by sustaining in the principle of idealism: the I as unique reality that knows about himself while producing himself, and vice versa. The aestetic activity is the conscious coincidence of the human world's prductive activity and of the originary force of the natural phenomenon, and philosophy of art conceptualy gives account of the way in which this coincidence happens and of its implications for the knowledge of the basis and principle of everything: the Self.
