Schelling. On the Essence of Human Freedom

As is evident from the title, the lecture course delivered in the summer of 1936 at the University of Freiburg is dedicated to the examination of Friedrich Schelling's treatise "On the Essence of Human Freedom," in which the philosopher asserts that the consideration of freedom "introduces into the deepest core of philosophy" (which, as noted by Heidegger, Hegel did not understand at the time, claiming that in this treatise Schelling was only concerned with examining one of the philosophical questions). Schelling analyzes its nature from the perspective of a more fundamental understanding of being, refuting Spinozist determinism, which can only withstand on the confession of unshakable objective self-identity, characteristic of substance as a thing, and collapses upon the original interpretation of being as will.
Reflecting in a theological paradigm and introducing the concept of becoming God, Schelling, according to Heidegger's thought, attempts to go beyond the boundaries of traditional metaphysical thinking, and here the existential reading of it becomes fascinating, carried out by Heidegger: in the analysis of the more primordial structure of being proposed by Schelling, the features of existence emerge in an anticipatory manner, and in the mentioned becoming of God, the original temporality makes itself known, from which only later arises the traditional, common notion of time. Jasper once said that "Schelling embarked on a path where he made an existential breakthrough in German idealism," although he "buried his true impulses... in the idealistic system he created." In this lecture course, Heidegger seems to resurrect these impulses, stripping away the traditional metaphysical garments from Schelling's philosophy.
