Phenomenal video. I’ve always wished to learn about schelling, but have never managed to find much digestible information about him. After this, i do still wonder though: is schelling’s decisions to view everything as mind/idea different from someone like Berkeley? I assume there’s a tremendous difference, but how? They do sound quite similar.
From this video alone I can say that the only difference I note is that Berkeley ascribes the existence of the physical, phenomenal realm to God. That is, akin to the way you and I create images in our imagination, is how God creates the phenomenal world in His mind. I'm not sure if Schelling makes this similar move- I don't know if he is a theist of sorts. Schelling might be a phenomenalist like John Stuart Mill, who thinks the physical world is all appearances, but who doesn't acknowledge or proceed to defend a cause of the existence of such appearances. Berkeley, conversely, puts the sensible world on God's great shoulders. That much I can say with confidence, though if Schelling thinks so, too, I cannot say. Otherwise, their view sounds downright similar
Thanks for your explanation. It would be helpful to have definitions for words like mind and consciousness in this context. Is consciousness that which experiences mind, or is consciousness the display of certain mind activity , or?
I am a set of a’ priori modes, not a body of limbs and organs. We need to move beyond the notion of “We”. Human is a loose notion at best. In essence, the body conduit has no fixed predicate in the abstract lens so the premise is incorrect. What is it of us, that knows this? Until we know more, we are a set of a’ priori modes trying to stabilise our line in an ocean of dissipating variables. We should define ourselves in this manner. We are a set of modes that allow for systematic alignment. A set synthesised with realities structures and stresses. Understanding this is the next step. Everything else is tied up in a field of inverted axioms and that path is a dead end. It keeps going round in circles. One has to look through the phenomenological lens if they want beyond this primitive, half developed monkey head paradigm but who’s really ready for that path. If you want to understand the modes - UA-cam - new paradigm fish by Yap. Stripping it right back. Alternatively- read my work for free on medium. New paradigm fish Yap.
What would you say Schelling’s view is? That there’s some indifference point that stands above mind and matter which is the Absolute - which is neither mind and matter and not not mind and matter? It seems to me that he conceives of the absolute not as a particular or a static substance but as something more dynamic and unfolding which is the ground of being but also something open or in the process of becoming. He sees himself as transcending Spinoza in some sense.
@@Skylark725 Do you happen to have any recommendations on where to read his metaphysics, especially the "transcending Spinza" kind of metaphysics ? I have a very close relationship with Spinozism and would love to explore that current further. I think Deleuze and Guattari have interesting conceptions, additons and tweaks that fit (roughly) within a Spinozist framework. Thank you :)
thank you professor, i'm currently encountering fichte and schelling for the first time in academia. You're being very helpful.
Such clarity! Thanks!

I love your videos, you're one of the best philosophy teachers I know on youtube! But please, get a better microphone 😅

This sounds like Fichte more than Schelling. Or at least, Schelling prior to considering Spinoza. (Only the early Schelling if even that)
