Challenges to German Idealism

This book offers an important reappraisal of Schelling''s philosophy and his relationship to German Idealism. Focusing on Schelling''s self-critique in early identity philosophy the author rejects those criticisms of Schelling made by both Hegel and Heidegger. This work significantly redraws the boundaries of metaphysical thinking, arguing for a dialogue between rational philosophy, mythology and cosmology.
