‎First edition of Schelling's important treatise, in which he in 14 lectures put forward his thoughts about the academic education in the differenrt subjects at the universities. He also gives a synopsis of his own philosophy. Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling (1775 - 1854), German philosopher and educator and a major figure of German idealism in the post-Kantian development in German philosophy. Living in Tübingen he became a friend of Hegel and Hölderlin. During his professorship at Jena in 1798 he was in close contact with leading figures of Romanticism and was also co-editor with Hegel of the Critical Journal of Philosophy. ""Vorlesungen über die Methode des akademischen Studiums"" is Schelling's Encyclopedia of philosophical sciences, according to which philosophy is the presupposition for all the special sciences. In it he argues that the task of the university is to properly hold the balancing relationship between the absolute knowledge and special knowledge.Schelling's lectures from 1803 give no didactic statements, but discuss, justify and emphasize the role and importance of the methodical scientific thinking for the free and general social education. Wilhelm Von Humboldt's model concerning education, Prussian education system, which is based on the idea of freedom and the principle of unity, instituted compulsory attendance, specific training for teachers, national testing for all students, national curriculum set for each grade and mandatory kindergarten, is large built upon Schelling's ideas presented in the present work. ‎

‎Scarce first editions of these two fundamental works of Shelling's philosophy of nature. In his early works (1795-1800), Schelling sets out to give a new account of nature, and his ""Erster Entwurf..."" together with the ""Einleitung..."" for it are placed at the centre of this attempt. At the basis of his philosophy of nature is the status that Kant had given nature, but Schelling tries to avoid some of the consequences that come with Kant's notion. He is also largely inspired by Fichte's transcendental philosophy, and in the last five years of the 19th century, Schelling is thus occupied with the relationship of the subject to the object world, -a theme that comes to found the basis for his so famous philosophy of nature. At first Fichte and Schelling stood on good terms, but as their different conceptions of nature became evident, the divergences between them became too great. As Fichte regarded nature as Not-Self, this could not be a valid subject of philosophy, and he refused to understand Schelling's philosophy of nature as complementary to his own transcendental philosophy.Schelling's philosophy of nature presents us with a modern hermeneutic view of nature, allowing nature to be of significance beyond what can be scientifically established about it. Along with J.G. Fichte and Hegel, Schelling ranks as the most influential thinker of German Idealism. He stands in the centre of this most important and influential of philosophical traditions, and with his philosophy of nature, his anti-Cartesian view of subjectivity and his later critique of Hegelian Idealism, Schelling continues to be of the utmost importance to the development of continental philosophy to this day. ‎

‎Rare first edition of Schelling first published work. ""When he was 19 years old Schelling wrote his first philosophical work, Über die Möglichkeit einer Form der Philosophie überhaupt (1795" On the Possibility and Form of Philosophy in General), which he sent to Fichte, who expressed strong approval.” (Encyclopedia Britannica). Schelling’s tract was a manifesto for Fichte’s foundationalist programme, an argument for the necessity of founding philosophy of the basis of a single selfevident first principle. There must be one first principle, Schelling argued, because if there were two such principles, there would have to be some higher synthesis of them, which would then be the first principle. Along with J.G. Fichte and Hegel, Schelling ranks as the most influential thinker of German Idealism. He stands in the centre of this most important and influential of philosophical traditions, and with his philosophy of nature, his anti-Cartesian view of subjectivity and his later critique of Hegelian Idealism, Schelling continues to be of the utmost importance to the development of continental philosophy to this day.‎

‎First edition, not common. In the late 18th century. Schelling dealt with the natural sciences and in that respect was especially interested in the objective side of knowledge. ""Von der Weltseele"" was widely noticed and it was this work that made Scelling famous in the university city of Jena. Goethe was especially interested in and fascinated by this work. ‎

‎First edition of Schelling's influential ""On the Soul of the World"", which was the work that made Schelling famous in the university city of Jena. The work was widely noticed and highly regarded.In his early works (1795-1800), Schelling sets out to give a new account of nature. At the basis of his philosophy of nature is the status that Kant had given nature, but Schelling tries to avoid some of the consequences that come with it. He is also largely inspired by Fichte's transcendental philosophy, and in the last five years of the 19th century, Schelling is thus occupied with the relationship of the subject to the object world, -a theme that comes to found the basis for his so famous philosophy of nature. At first Fichte and Schelling stood on good terms, but as their different conceptions of nature became evident, the divergences between them became too great. As Fichte regarded nature as Not-Self, this could not be a valid subject of philosophy, and he refused to understand Schelling's philosophy of nature as complementary to his own transcendental philosophy. Schelling's philosophy of nature presents us with a modern hermeneutic view of nature, allowing nature to be of significance beyond what can be scientifically established about it. Schelling was a tutor of two boys from an aristocratic family. With them he went to Leipzic and had a chance to attend lectures at the university there. He here occupied himself with physical studies, also chemistry and biology. After having taught these two aristocrats for a couple of years, he was called to Jena as an extraordinary professor of philosophy at the mere age of 23. He stayed in Jena for five years (1798-1803), where he found himself at the centre of the German Romanticism. Goethe, for instance, highly regarded his philosophy of nature, which he got acquainted with through his ""Von der Weltseele"", which presents us with the fruits of his studies of physical sciences.Along with J.G. Fichte and Hegel, Schelling ranks as the most influential thinker of German Idealism. He stands in the centre of this most important and influential of philosophical traditions, and with his philosophy of nature, his anti-Cartesian view of subjectivity and his later critique of Hegelian Idealism, Schelling continues to be of the utmost importance to the development of continental philosophy to this day. ‎
