F. W. J. Schelling as a speculative follower of Jesus Christ : Towards one biblical theorem from the Ages of the World
2017
Abstract
The goal of my essay is to explain Schelling's understanding of Christ's statement from John 12:25. Schelling repeatedly refers to it in the different versions of the Ages of the World as a great teaching that is true of the life of God.
Within the background of the selected context from John 12:24, the goal of the essay primarily becomes the task of showing to what extent the development of the Absolute in the Ages of the World can be likened to the empirical development of a seed. I show that the likeness is justified, because in some general attributes, the development of both displays considerable, and philosophically relevant, resemblances.
