In his work ›Bruno oder über das göttliche und natürliche Princip der Dinge‹ (Bruno, or On the Natural and Divine Principle of Things), published in the summer of 1802, Schelling describes the main features of his identity philosophy based on the model of a Platonic dialogue. All the essays that Schelling published in the first volume of the ›Critical Journal of Philosophy‹ originated in 1802. These included ›Ueber das absolute Identitäts-System‹ (On the Absolute Identity System), a critical dispute with Reinhold, as well as ›Rückert and Weiß, oder die Philosophie zu der es keines Denkens und Wissens bedarf‹ (Rückert and Weiß, or the Philosophy Which Requires no Thinking or Knowledge). In the text structure, the edition has taken all other editions into consideration and makes these accessible in editorial reports and explanatory annotations.
