  Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling
Schelling claims, in the wake of Fichte, that the resistance of the noumenal realm to theoretical knowledge results from the fact that ‘the [practical] act [of the absolute I] via which all limitation is posited, as condition of all consciousness, does not itself come to consciousness’.
Schelling starts to confront the idea that the reconciliation of freedom and necessity that had been sought by Kant in the acknowledgement of the necessity of the law, and which was the aim of German Idealism's attempt to reconcile mind and nature, might be intrinsically unattainable.
Schelling is, then, one of the first philosophers seriously to begin the destruction of the model of metaphysics based on the idea of representation, a destruction which can be seen as one of the key aspects of modern philosophy from Heidegger to the later Wittgenstein and beyond.

 Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The enmity of his old foe, HEG Paulus, sharpened by Schelling's apparent success, led to the surreptitious publication of a verbatim report of the lectures on the philosophy of revelation, and, as Schelling did not succeed in obtaining legal condemnation and suppression of this piracy, he in 1845 ceased the delivery of any public courses.
Schelling was prematurely thrust into the position of a foremost productive thinker; and when the lengthened period of quiet meditation was at last forced upon him, there unfortunately lay before him a system which achieved what had dimly been involved in his ardent and impetuous desires.
But Schelling did not merely borrow, he had genuine philosophic spirit and no small measure of philosophic insight, and under all the differences of exposition which seem to constitute so many differing systems, there is one and the same philosophic effort and spirit.

 Schelling's System of Transcendental Idealism
Thus, Schelling’s transcendental idealism affirms that a transcendental unity of the self and nature, of subject and object, of the conscious and the unconscious is a condition for knowledge.
Schelling argues that, if the conscious activity which is expressed in the will is identical to the unconscious activity which produces the world, then the problem of whether our perceptions conform to the world, or whether the world conforms to our perceptions, is resolved.
Schelling says that, for the self to oppose an object to itself, inner sense must be intuited as time, and outer sense must be intuited as space.

 Clark, 'Mourning Becomes Theory: Schelling and the Absent Body of Philosophy' - _Schelling and Romanticism_ - Romantic ...
Schelling queers the same figure by requiring the feminized real to play several roles: as the living fundament and source of actualization, she is richly potent, and thus antithetical to what Hegel makes of her.
Schelling puts to us that modern European philosophy is constructed through a fiercely exclusionary mechanism, so that idealism invents its integrity not only in opposition to the alterity of the "real" but also by rendering the "real" as insignificant to the work of philosophy.
Schelling's philosophy is itself never entirely free of the risk of this sort of symmetrical inversion, especially in the later work, organized as it is around oppositions of "positive" and "negative" that make such a substitution—which we could call "Hegelian"—all but irresistible.

Schelling died at the age of 79 in 1854 in Ragarz, Switzerland.
For Schelling, the promise of the Enlightenment, that reality can be grasped by reflection in the rational-cognitive mode, is an empty promise; rather, for Schelling, it is the creative imagination which holds the power to grasp reality.

 Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling
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.

Schelling's emphasis on nature, and the study of nature, are obviously congenial to Emerson's similar focus.
Schelling's God is equated with "an original force dwelling in nature," but the complaint of naturalism is "ungrounded," in a wider perspective, since Schelling "subjects the entire universe to a all-besouling, divine power" (p.
Schelling sets the problems to be addressed in his "philosophy of identity," as developmental problems: to explain how intelligence develops in nature and equally to explain how intelligence comes to represent the world.

 Beach: Schelling's Religious Psychology
Schelling accordingly symbolizes it with a new designation, as "B."(9) Schelling's main point throughout this argument is to emphasize that real existence begins in chaos.
Schelling anticipates C.G. Jung in suggesting that what conferred on the ancient gods their irresistible power and objective reality was precisely their origination in the depths of the unconscious, whose intuitive activities long preceded the reasoning and categorizing functions of the mind.
Schelling was perhaps the first modern thinker to suggest that the forms of life associated with a religion might inwardly possess a quite different significance from their surface appearances.

 voegelin, schelling, and the philosophy of historical existence by Jerry day
Schelling, whom Day maintains was one of the most important guides to Voegelin's mature philosophy of consciousness and historiography, has been described as the father of several disparate movements and schools of continental philosophy--chief among them being "Hegelian" idealism and existentialism.
This characterization implies that Schelling was a scattered thinker with little or no appreciation for philosophy as a disciplined inquiry into the nature of human affairs.
Those who claim that Schelling was scattered have failed, according to Voegelin, to appreciate the nonideological breadth of this great philosopher, misled by the splinter movements and schools that arose from mere fragments of his thought.

And if Schelling was not entirely at home with his contemporaries, he seems, on the face of it, to have fared little better with his future: there has been no Schelling school, he has had no followers.
Whether or not Schelling should be strictly viewed as a genius, Kant's notion suggests a sense in which Schelling should be understood as a 'philosopher's philosopher': he inspired creativity, not repetition.
In this perspective, the lack of a 'Schelling school' is a sign of strength; Schelling is continually being rediscovered, and his works have retained a fresh and untimely character.

Schelling agreed with Fichte in that philosophy is the science (=philosophy) of the conditions of possibility of consciousness, that is, the transcendental philosophy in Kant's sense and the science of knowledge in Fichte's sense.
Schelling made use of Kant's philosophy of organic nature in his philosophy of nature such that the organism produces itself through mutual interaction between the whole and its parts so that the organism itself is viewed as self-purposive (the growth in an organism is understood as teleological).

In his later period, Schelling maintained that history is a series of stages progressing toward harmony from a previous fall and that differences are aspects of this development.

Schelling says "uncertain retaliation is more efficient than certain retaliation" when bargaining and "the capability to retaliate is more useful than the ability to defend." Now let's get practical.
Schelling's major contribution to game theory (and the study of culture) was the concept of focal points.
Schelling defines focal points as "intuitively perceived mutual expectations, shared appreciations, preoccupations, obsessions, and sensitivities to suggestion." He criticized traditional game theorists for failing to recognize that "players" actually achieve much better coordination and cooperation when they are able to rely upon focal points.

A slightly different way in which one may conceptualize the process of agreement on a Schelling point is in terms of bargaining costs in a context of continuous bargaining.
In order for a Schelling point to provide a peaceful resolution to a conflict of interest, both parties must conceptualize the alternatives in similar ways&emdash;similar enough so that they can agree about which possible outcomes are unique, and thus attractive as potential Schelling points.

Indeed, there are people who, within that framework, try to palm as much blame as possible on to the movements of the 60s, and the peace movement even today, regardless of any kind of truly rigorous methodological truth or any other kind of disciplined non-sophistic reasoning, for that matter.

 Slavoj Zizek and F.W.J. von Schelling: The Abyss of Freedom/Ages of the World, University of Michigan Press
In the last decade, F. von Schelling has emerged as one of the key philosophers of German Idealism, the one who, for the first time, undermined Kant's philosophical revolution and in so doing opened up the way for a viable critique of Hegel.
In noted philosopher Slavoj Zizek's view, the main orientations of the post-Hegelian thought, from Kierkegaard and Marx, to Heidegger and today's deconstructionism, were prefigured in Schelling's analysis of Hegel's idealism, and in his affirmation that the contingency of existence cannot be reduced to notional self-mediation.
Zizek argues that Schelling's most profound thoughts are found in the series of three consecutive attempts he made to formulate the "ages of the world/Weltalter," the stages of the self-development of the Absolute.

 EconPapers: Schelling's Spatial Proximity Model of Segregation Revisited
Abstract: Schelling [1969, 1971a, 1971b, 1978] presented a microeconomic model showing how an integrated city could unravel to a rather segregated city, notwithstanding relatively mild assumptions concerning the individual agents' preferences, i.e., no agent preferring the resulting segregation.
We examine the robustness of Schelling's model, focusing in particular on its driving force: the individual preferences.
What is more, we argue that the one-dimensional and two-dimensional versions of Schelling's spatial proximity model are in fact two qualitatively very different models of segregation.
