Theologische Jugendschriften

Zusammenfassung

This volume presents – for the first time – a selection of all essential scripts, including papers dealing with Schelling’s interest in the field of theology, history and philosophy when studying in Tübingen from 1790 to 1794. They give evidence of Schelling’s intense reception of the manifold deep-rooted changes and innovations in the scientific world of the Old and New Testament of the time, but also of his analysis of the philosophy of Kant and Plato. On top of that Schelling presents an innovative concept of biblical hermeneutics by taking into account the critical historical standards of his time. Schelling’s study papers are important both for the understanding of his later works on philosophy of history as well as on moral philosophy. The volume contains a detailed introduction, explanatory notes on the texts, an extensive bibliography and indices.
