[Malte Dominik Krüger] With Schelling’s later philosophy the rationality in German idealism bids farewell to its fantasy of almightiness. The rationality fails in the attempt of its ultimate justification. In the reality of an absolute ground it cannot assure itself of its own reality. The rationality realises that it is being related to an absolute, but its reality as creative freedom withdraws itself from the conceptualising striving of the rationality (negative philosophy). However, the possibility of this rationally ungraspable reality, as understood by the rationality, liberates to create theoretically a not enforceable change of perspective (religion), which is nonetheless not to be denounced as irrational. Afterwards, the “unlocked” rationality is able to diagnose the world in the horizon of the creative freedom of the absolute (positive philosophy).
