Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] Schelling's "System of transcendental idealism" starts from an adaptationist-correspondentistic conception of truth (let us also say: of the meaning of the whole). Its closure, which is intended as a return to one's own beginning, however, goes beyond this very presupposition and, beyond it, the crack. The artistic work not only becomes a vehicle for a unification of opposites, but also makes an excess sensible that the circle opened by the "System" exposes as something indeducible and unsatisfactory, not adequate-corresponding to its own whole. The philosophy that erects the whole, and on its very foundation is sustained in a stable way, does not 'fully understand' the work of art, even as a philosophy of art. The essay tries to show the aoretical nature of this theoretical position and the aesthetic line of flight that it traces.
