Více o knize

Exploring the connection between this world and the next, Schelling's novel, likely written after the loss of his first wife, showcases a blend of novella and philosophical discourse. The narrative incorporates themes of animal magnetism and the doctrine of potencies, making complex ideas accessible. Steinkamp's analysis addresses the work's dating and its potential links to Schelling's larger philosophical projects, while also providing biographical context that highlights the emotional depth behind the text, particularly in relation to Schelling's personal losses.
