Complete interpenetration
Mutual informing
Real and ideal
Aesthetic idealism and beauty is at the centre of Schelling’s philosophical inquiry. His interrogation functions as an organic view of nature that depends on creative intuition. As such, the conditions of possibility are interrelated by means of unity.
“The forms of art must be the forms of things as they are within the absolute or in themselves.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
Obscure hiding
Didactic exposition
Time in consciousness
Passing by scenery offered systematically and in detail, such appearances are sometimes distinctively significant. The primordial element is light in its most illuminating exposition, unequivocally presented in its temporal movement.
“Every appearance is, as representation in the mind, under the form of inner sense, which is time. Every representation is so constituted that the mind goes through it in time; that is, the mind expounds the appearance; thus every appearance is expoundable.” – Immanuel Kant
External determination
Sensible manifold
Relation function
Natural volition is necessarily framed by accumulated contingencies. Dormant brown fields await the warmth of spring to vault into action. A materialistic and fatalistic view must be offset by an idealistic view of vivacious province.
“We felt it now to be in our power to make indefinite progress in this new inventory of the world.” – William T. Harris
Convey the experience
Inscription proceeds
Spectacle realm
An evening on the shore brings forth the quality of changeableness.
“A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.” – Paul Klee
