Example text

Religion, without the critical discipline of philosophy, has a well-documented destructive effect on life, manifesting itself in the fevered frenzy of blind faith and the zealous acts of religiously motivated hatred that litter our past and populate our present. Conversely, philosophy devoid of the animating force of the divine and living spirit becomes an act of intellectual onanism, failing to fulfill the challenge of creation, settling instead for the immediate gratification of an illusory power and control that ultimately leads to its own demise, as it grows increasingly irrelevant to the life it fails to integrate, much less engender.

Having grasped for the moment the fundamental role this idea of organic unity plays for Schelling, let us turn now to examine in more detail why this same thematic is also central to Kant and the project of German Idealism. Kant and the Categorical Imperative of Unity in Reason For Schelling it is in the labyrinth of the subject that we run into the duality as perplexing as it is important for Kant and all of modern philosophy, namely, that of the analytic and synthetic unity of selfconsciousness.

The resulting system thus develops from the form of a disjunctive (and thus oppositional) logic of community and reciprocity, thereby initiating a genetic dialectic in which form and content, concept and intuition, the intelligible and the sensual simultaneously impact and condition one another in a dynamic and purposive process of generation—the only such process commensurate with, and indicative of, its author’s mode of existing in the world (intentionality). This and only this, according to Schelling, would be a truly synthetic method, grounded in the absolute of a freedom that is capable of integrating both the dualities of human existence, and of accounting for the unconditional unity philosophy demands of system.
