Schelling

Despite the number and value of the translations, and despite many studies that have appeared in recent years, Schelling's name is still largely unknown in France, and his unknown philosophy. However, it is a philosophical genius of the first order. Xavier Tilliette undertook to tell a life that singularly illuminates a work "in the process of becoming", still marrying the movement of existence. Schelling, an eternal beginning, if he could not complete his great project of the Ages of the World, has traversed in their diversity the ages of life, "from the beautiful dawn to the sad evening", crossing the Revolution, the Empire, Romanticism, the Restoration and 1848, to finish in a relative forgetfulness and isolation.
