New Schelling Alistair Welchman

Brief Description: Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Von Schelling (17751854) was a colleague of Hegel, Holderlin, Fichte, Goethe, Schlegel, and Schiller. Always a champion of Romanticism, Schelling advocated a philosophy which emphasized intuition over reason, which maintained aesthetics and the creative imagination to be of the highest value. At the same time, Schellings concerns for the self and the rational make him a major precursor to existentialism and phenomenology.
