Description
Summary:Schelling's first Russian disciple, D.M. Vellanskij, met his teacher at Würzburg in 1803. It was the heyday of Schelling's philosophy of identity, the identity of spirit and nature, of mind and matter. Yet, teacher and student differ on the labels they applied to this philosophy. Vellanskij thought of it as the peak of human 'Aufklärung', whereas Schelling abhorred the term due to controversies going on within German philosophy at the time ('Berliner Aufklärung'). The argument put forward here is that Vellanskij was right in using the term 'Enlightenment' for Schelling's philosophy of identity, which conceptualized - via nature - the ideas of free movement, tolerance and human solidarity.
