This volume presents all of Schelling’s publications from the year 1801. These include his essays from volume two of the ›Journal of Speculative Physics‹ as well as shorter texts such as reviews and poems and finally the notification in the Critical Journal of Philosophy. The most significant essay in this volume is the ›Darstellung meines Systems der Philosophie‹ (Presentation of My System of Philosophy), which opened a new chapter in the history of Schelling’s thinking. In it, his philosophy emerged explicity as a ›system of identity‹. The text is – in Schelling’s own words – the only »strictly scientific« presentation of this new system.
