Wolfram Hogrebe presents a compelling and uncompromising metaphysical interpretation of Schelling's unfinished masterpiece, "The Ages of the World," in his book. By translating Schelling's work into the language of predicate logic and philosophy of language, Hogrebe not only provides a contemporary epistemology but also strengthens its metaphysical claims. Originally published 35 years ago, Hogrebe's book remains ahead of its time, successfully bridging the analytic and continental divide and demonstrating Schelling's contemporary relevance and vitality. The book includes a new authors preface to the English edition, a preface to the Italian translation (2011), an introduction to the philosophical themes of the book by prominent Schelling scholars, a Postface by Markus Gabriel, Hogrebe's colleague in Bonn, and a readers guide to Hogrebe's major works.
