Celebrated as a foundational text in German Idealism, it deeply examines the nature of evil and freedom, influencing major philosophers from Heidegger to Žižek. With rare supplementary texts included, this edition is a must-have for scholars and serious students seeking to engage with one of philosophy’s most challenging and impactful works. ## Description Schelling's masterpiece investigating evil and freedom. Jeff Love and Johannes Schmidt offer a fresh translation of Schelling's enigmatic and influential masterpiece, widely recognized as an indispensable work of German Idealism. The text is an embarrassment of riches-both wildly adventurous and somberly prescient. Martin Heidegger claimed that it was "one of the deepest works of German and thus also of Western philosophy" and that it utterly undermined Hegel's monumental Science of Logic before the latter had even appeared in print. Schelling carefully investigates the problem of evil by building on Kant's notion of radical evil, while also developing an astonishingly original conception of freedom and personality that exerted an enormous (if subterranean) influence on the later course of European philosophy from Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard through Heidegger to important contemporary theorists like Slavoj Zðizûek. This translation of Schelling's notoriously difficult and densely allusive work provides extensive annotations and translations of a series of texts (by Boehme, Baader, Lessing, Jacobi, and Herder), hard to find or previously unavailable in English, whose presence in the Philosophical Investigations is unmistakable and highly significant. This handy study edition of Schelling's masterpiece will prove useful for scholars and students alike. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #548,316 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #133 in Phenomenological Philosophy #165 in Free Will & Determinism Philosophy #178 in Philosophy of Good & Evil | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 26 Reviews | ## Images ![Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom (SUNY series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iZjzF137L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***D on July 15, 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***N on January 28, 2013* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***K on January 23, 2013* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8139305-philosophical-investigations-into-the-essence-of-human-freedom-suny-series](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8139305-philosophical-investigations-into-the-essence-of-human-freedom-suny-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
