Highly recommended
This work is especially interesting as it represents the shift in author's mature thinking, which gives birth to existential mood in Schelling's philosophy. The edition contains interesting foreword by the translator which guides the reader into the zeitgeist of German idealism and Schelling's thought in particular. As for the quality, the pages of this edition are made of high quality paper. Although the price still seems to be a bit high for the book of 225 pages, nevertheless it is worth the price. Highly recommended! ... Read more

Cryptic and wonderful
Schelling's difficult idealism attempts to provide a positive account of radical evil as well as an account of human will. This is an immensely brilliant and mysterious text, which requires multiple readings. Schelling's philosophy has emerged as a major force in the history of German idealism, and is often the source of new work in Spinozan circles as well. The supplementary texts in this addition are an excellent point of entry to Schelling's work as well. However, the translator's introduction is pretentious and historically suspect.

The Newest Translation
This book is a valuable contribution to the newest literature and foretold renaissance in Schelling research.Although there are three existing translations, all suffer from the defects familiar to the difficult exercise of translation.Among those, the Love/Schmid version suffers from these same problems, unfortunately.

I mention only one serious error (the others largely being unavoidable) in that Selbstständigkeit is translated as 'independence.'While this word does grasp one of the meanings of Selbstständigkeit, it fails to grasp the richness of the word, especially in its assymetrical opposition to Abhängigkeit (translated as dependence).My only complaint is that the translators did not note this particular locution.However, at almost all other places where there is doubt, they are careful to provide the German text.

The advantage of this edition, which over all existing is significant, is the historical apparatus attached to this edition, including translations of several other timely works that influenced Schelling's thinking (Boehme, Lessing, Baader, Jacobi).Although there is a lot of fascinating contemporary commentary done on the text (and Schelling's work at large) in different venues, little of it actually addresses the context in which the Freiheitsschrift was written.The apparatus attached to this edition fills this lacuna. ...

Product Description
Die Klassiker der deutschen und weltweiten Literatur in einer einzigartigen Reihe. Lesen Sie die besten Werke großer Schriftsteller und Autoren auf Ihrem Kindle Reader.

Das System des transzendentalen Idealismus ist ein 1800 in Tübingen erstmals erschienenes Werk des Philosophen Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775-1854). Es ist ein Schlüsselwerk des Deutschen Idealismus und zugleich der Abschluss Schellings erster philosophischen Phase. Der Naturphilosophie wird die Transzendentalphilosophie gegenübergestellt, um so den Ansatz eines „Real-Idealismus“ zu vollenden.

Schelling geht in seinem Buch zunächst von einer theoretischen Betrachtung des menschlichen Bewußtseins aus, zieht daraus dann Schlussfolgerungen für die menschliche Lebenspraxis (Ethik, Geschichte), um am Ende schließlich eine Philosophie der Kunst zu formulieren. (aus wikipedia.de) ... Read more
