The Ages of the World (1811)

By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Book Overview

A new English translation of Schelling's unfinished magnum opus, complete with a contextualizing introduction by the translator.

A new translation of the third and most sustained version of Schelling's magnum opus, this great heroic poem is a genealogy of time. Anticipating Heidegger, as well as contemporary debates about post-modernity and the limits of dialectical thinking, Schelling struggles with the question of time as the relationship between poetry and philosophy. Thinking in the wake of Hegel, although trying to think beyond his grasp, this extraordinary work is a poetic and philosophical address of difference, of thinking's relationship to its inscrutable ground.
