F.W.J. Schelling’s Denkmal der Schrift von den göttlichen Dingen (1812) (Memorial to Writing on the Divine Things). In 1809 Schelling published the first volume of his ›Philosophischen Schriften‹ (Philosophical Writings), In addition to texts containing »mainly idealistic content,« which had already been published, this volume presented the first comprehensive and systematic statement of the conceptual part of his philosophy in his ›Philosophical Inquiries into the Nature of Human Freedom‹. This work marked the beginning of a literary debate with Heinrich Jacobi (1743–1819), and this was continued in Jacobi‘s Schrift ›Of the Divine Things and their Revelation‹ and then in Schelling’s ›Memorial to Writing on the Divine Things‹. Schelling’s texts are analyzed against the backdrop of this debate and other debates as well.
