Schelling on Freedom and the Root of Evil

Описание: Filip talks with Christopher about Schelling's concept of freedom, how it ties in with good and evil, and the metaphysical, religious and ontological background. Why would anyone knowingly commit evil acts? Schelling thinks of evil as not merely the privation of good but as a something in its own right.

The Freedom Essay represents Schelling’s most systematic writing on his conception of freedom and it also captures important themes from his philosophical past, such as his love of the Platonic, cosmological receptacle in the Timaeus.
