Renqvist, Anna-Lena (Author)
The present essay pretends to trace the effort made by Schelling to rewrite the history of the ideal by introducing a prehistory of the real as a brute maybe prior not only to conceptual thinking, to the unity of consciousness and the history of man, but prior to both being and the being of God. Schelling's monotheism translates into a philosophical monism partly inspired by the rediscovery within German idealism of Aristotelian dynamics. Above all is the One, and in the beginning was the word; but whereas the One is simple indifference, the word is a complex thing, an act of identity here understood as a unity reconciling what was formerly torn apart. As a unity, which, exterior-wise, is wholly one, identity presents an icon of the original model, but as an interior-wise split unity (A=A), it bears witness of time. Thus, if we consider the origin as oneness, and the actual beginning as identity, a division must have occurred in between. Schelling's conclusion mirrors the above-mentioned proposal: in the actual beginning was identity because in a potential pre-beginning was difference. From eternal indifference to recreated eternity, and in between time.
