The Nuertingen article says: "1783/1784 : Friedrich Hölderlin and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling are pupils of the Latin school (German: Lateinschule)", but this article does not mention this. Is it just that he went to school in N. later or earlier than the one mentioned here? Or is there a mistake here? --Nevilley 09:07, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Before Bebenhausen Schelling went to the Latin school. And the year is presumablly right. But I am not sure. ASAP I'll fix it. KIZU 03:50, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Great, thanks very much. --Nevilley 06:50, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Schelling's philosophy "evil"?
I removed the following extremely POV clause:
- important only as illustrations of the evil qualities in Schelling's nature which deface much of his philosophic work.
Oh...I didnt realize that this was from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. Hm.
[edit] Death of Auguste
I edited the mention of Auguste Böhmer's death, where the article insinuated that Schelling was partly responsible for her demise. This is more legend than reality and was even contradicted by A.W. Schlegel, who at the time certainly had every motivation to attack Schelling.
- This is a neglected article. Please do anything you can to improve it. — goethean ॐ 00:05, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I was considering rewriting most or all of it. I'm writing a dissertation on Schelling, and the language of this article sounds so archaic because of its source. Andrew Bowie's article on Schelling in the Stanford Online Encyclopedia of Philosophy is a hundred times better than this one.
- Great! We lack someone who feels qualified to write on the subject. I would be happy to clean up any rough prose that you would like to add. — goethean ॐ 16:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Added a sufficient leading paragraph. I'm sort of using the Hegel article (which is also poor in some aspects) for a good sense of how long it should be. I also fixed a particularly horrible linking error in the first part of the "life" section. It said Schelling began reading Fichte, but that link actually went to Fichte's SON, Immanual Hermann Fichte.
Finally, I'm planning on giving poor Schelling his own "philosopher box" that you can see in other philosophers' articles. I will play around with it in testing mode before I submit it, in order to make sure that I do it correctly.
