Schelling y el nacimiento de la conciencia trágica moderna

Abstract

By Schelling’s hand we can realize that the closure of absolute truth in philosophical modern systems is not possible, instead, we should recognize them as true within limits. For this, Schelling defends the systems in the contradiction between Being and entities, i. e. between subject and object, infinity and finite, freedom and necessity. To Schelling, the fundamental contradiction is that the Subject is nothing, but he wants himself as something. As we see, the Subject’s sense change in relation to the modern tradition. This is Schelling’s important premise being that, in it, the birth of tragic conscience is constituted. The following steps shows that the subject is a contradictory activity: the tragical beginning of Being; the tragical experience of history; and Being’s manifestations.
