Abstract

My essay takes into consideration the reception and interpretation of the philosophies of Fichte and Schelling by Luigi Pareyson. Pareyson considered classical German philosophy as a vertex of the history of philosophical thought and interpreted Fichte and Schelling as original thinkers, which indicated philosophical perspectives irreducible to Hegel’s philosophy. My essay examines the reading of Fichte by Pareyson in the volume of 1950 and then in the lessons of Turin in the year 1982/1983 on: “The principle and the dialectic”. Finally, it takes into consideration the Pareyson’s reading of Schelling in the framework of his late “Ontology of freedom” and concludes with some systematic considerations.
