La teología política de Schelling en el Freiheitsschrift

Abstract

Schelling is not acknow­ ledged as a political thinker. His writing Philosophical Inquiries into the Essence of Human Freedom, in particular, seems to be a relevant text from an ontological and theological point of view, but not from a political one. However, it is possible to interpret it in such terms if one considers (1) its deliberate intervention in a certain historical­political context and its allusions to it, (2) its ontotheological understanding of human history and, within it, the emergence of a “new kingdom” and (3) his understanding of philosophy as an impulse to a new kind of spirituality. Such elements allow us to speak of a Political Theology in the Freiheitsschrift.
