<h2 id="schelling-1775-1854">Schelling (1775-1854)</h2>

In line with Nicolas de Cusa, Giordano Bruno and Spinoza, he aims to overcome the subjectivism of **Fitche**. Its weighing, covers three stages, namely:

1.  **Philosophy of Nature**:

In the beginning, nature is not a product of the self, as Fitche postulates, but is objective and independent of the subject. Updating the romantic conception of **Goethe** and the Renaissance of Giordano Bruno, he will consider nature as a living organism, moving away from mechanicism. However, nature, as a living spirit, only becomes self-conscious in man. Art is the most important for achieving a better understanding of nature.

1.  **Philosophy of identity**:

Later, Schelling will place above man and Nature, the **Absolute** as the only undifferentiated reality, which is above the “I” and the “non-I”, of the subject and object, of spirit and nature and in which everything is identified. Art remains the privileged medium through which the absolute is unuttered and the infinite can be captured in the finite, the identity of the ideal and the real.

1.  **Philosophy of Religion**

In this third stage, Schelling turns the **absolute** into the **will** (rational and blind). This perspective postulates a well-evil dualism through which it is intended to explain historical reality as a struggle between good and evil.
