Memoria, libertad y profecía. Un acercamiento a Las Edades del Mundo de F. W. J. Schelling

Abstract

In the present article we try to approach a one of the most important texts of Schelling’s production, Ages of World (Die Weltalter), written between 1813 and 1815, in which is concentrated the whole enigma of his middle philosophy which includes from Essay on liberty (1809) until his return in Munich and then in Berlin, where he replaced Hegel after his death and formulated his proposal of a positive philosophy, conformed by his Philosophy of Mythology and Philosophy of Revelation, as alternative to Hegel’s philosophy. We’ll try to approach to this new notion of ‘positive science’ analyzing the concept of ‘crisis’, explored by Schelling in his Ages of World, in relation with a possible philosophy of memory.
