 | | Friedrich Schelling, a German idealist philosopher once known as the "poet of the transcendental movement," has been held to be the most influential of the post-Kantian thinkers. |
 | | There was, however, in Schelling something that recalled the ideal side of Plato, more that suggested Plotinus, the neo-Platonists and Alexandrines, a mystical pantheistic quality that mingled well with the general elements of Idealism, and gave atmosphere, as it were, to the tender feeling of Jacobi and the heroic will of Fichte. |
 | | Schelling was Fichte's disciple, filled his vacant chair in Jena in 1798, and took his philosophical departure from certain of his positions. |
