F. W. J. von Schelling: a Biography, Life, and philosophy (1775-1854)

[@varlamplatonov6099]

What a great video. Schelling is my favourite philosopher and it was always a great pain to find videos and updated material about him. This seems to be changing, thanks.

[@andrewswanlund]

This is useful, nice work! thanks

[@machinicassemblage]

“completed the system of german idealism” is a very bold statement, but one i’m starting more and more to agree with.

[@TheYoungIdealist]

I mean in some sense, Schelling crosses over into ontology and this makes his project not only novel but highly innovative.

[@machinicassemblage]

@@TheYoungIdealist i fully agree with you, i’ve just never heard anyone say that before and it almost gave me goosebumps. schelling is everything i’ve been looking for in a philosopher

[@counterstriving]

I really appreciate and admire the work you're doing, making Schelling's thought available to more people. This can only be beneficial for "the world" (?). Or anyway for the general intellect.

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Thank you for the kind comments, it really means a lot that you are enjoying the content on Schelling, I agree with you, I am trying to make Schelling a house hold name!

[@literaturelessons5454]

I enjoyed the video thoroughly!!! I have always been a lover of biographies. Schelling was an interesting person. What amazed me most is the fact that Schelling took interest in the world of ghost and mediums. Thank you !!! 😊

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words!

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Apologies folks this was a rough video, but I am glad It's out, I really love biographies on philosophers. I am sorry my excitement and enthusiasm got the best of me. There should be two corrections in this video it was a letter to Jacobi in 1812! Not Fichte ... and it should be Hegel's Science of Logic .... not Science of knowledge ...my mistake lol and I have no idea why I sound so out of breath!

[@sanderoosterom6790]

As a newcomer to Schelling, I really enjoy your channel. One tiny other correction, Caroline was the wife of August Wilhelm Schlegel, not Friedrich. Keep up the good work!

[@TheYoungIdealist]

@@sanderoosterom6790 Yes, you are so right, I always make the same error, because F. Schlegel was an opponent of both Fichte and Schelling. Thank you for your kind comments and of course the correction!

[@andrewswanlund]

Do you cover the reciprocal relations between the subject and object in other videos? It's something I'd like to understand. thanks

[@hyperontic]

Very excellent, bravo

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Thank you so much for your warm remarks!

Oh dear, this is wonderful...thank you for your enthusiasm and wisdom

[@AnthonyMetivierMMM]

Philosopher on the ocean of ideas or the one who realized all the oceans appeared in him… without the traps of either hard or soft solipsism? Would be lovely to solve the Sanskrit mystery, but even if he didn’t know it, arguably all the Gitas translate more than well enough to experience the field and the knower of the field without separation.

Beautiful expression Christopher. Thank you for creating this.

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Thank you so much! This means the world to me to get great feedback like this!

[@lawrence4156]

@@TheYoungIdealist When I was writing my thesis, partly on Schelling, I've been looking for video's like this. Also curious to see your PhD thesis at some point, and where you are going with this. Just one thing I don't believe from video 4 on the freedom essay, which is where you say you are no believer. 😝

This is interesting--thank you, Chris.

Excellent! You have a natural talent for teaching and communicating, and also a conspicuous passion in what you do, which makes it all the more pleasurable. Keep up the good work, thank you.

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Thank you, Mehmet, for your kind words they mean a lot to me. I am really glad you enjoyed the video. I am very passionate about Schelling and German Idealism. Sharing these ideas, concepts, and philosophies is a dream of mine. All the best my friend!

[@ryleexiii1252]

What is the name of the text on Fichte and Schelling you mentioned at the beginning? (2:25)

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Hi Rylee, I brought up two books, both by Bruce Matthews the first one is called "Schelling's Organic Form of Philosophy: Life as the Schema of Freedom;" and the second book is on Schelling life called "The Heretic of the Enlightenment," set for a 2023 release.

[@miladgaikani]

Thank you very much, Chris. I enjoyed it a lot. Which source in English would you say is best for studying Schelling’s life? At this point I mean most biographical matters. Thanks in advance

[@TheYoungIdealist]

There is a fantastic essay by Bruce Matthews entitled "Schelling the Odysseus of German Idealism: A Brief Biographical Sketch." I am sure you will be able to find it online. Thanks for your comments all the best!

[@rimadichman7215]

This was great

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Thank you Rima! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@x2hampt168]

Thank you, Christopher, for the work you do, it is really important to return prof. Schelling to a prominent place in the history of philosophy which, in my opinion, was taken away from him.

[@TheYoungIdealist]

And Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to watch this video. I feel that Schelling is such an important thinker and his work really needs to be shared with everyone and so I plan on doing many videos covering his harder and more experimental works. So stay tuned, lot's of new material coming!

[@machinicassemblage]

if enough people hate you, your doing something right !

[@TheYoungIdealist]

Do people hate me? 😆 lol

[@machinicassemblage]

@@TheYoungIdealist referring to schelling, most schools of philosophy seem to dislike schelling for different reasons. your lovely christopher lol don’t know how anyone could dislike you
