Abstract

The authors of the article examine the philosophical heritage of Hölderlin, Novalis and Schelling in order to discover the continuity of ideas and directions for their further development in the work of F. W. J. Schelling. Romantic thought has largely formed the subject field for contemporary trends in philosophy, and in many respects this merit belongs to Schelling, whose early philosophical legacy correlates with the ideas of the romanticists. In particular, this concerns questions about the essence of myth and the problems of the philosophy of art. These concepts were actively used by F. Schlegel in his theoretical works. However, he did so on the material of poetic interpretation of the philosophical content of non-academic romanticists, who figuratively expressed thoughts about the unity of nature and the mind, about the nature of myth and its relationship with art. Shelling subsequently presented similar ideas in “The System of Transcendental Idealism” and “The Philosophy of Art”, significantly improving and expanding the original romantic ideas. This addition to the romantic project led to the formation of a new way of philosophical reflection and became a theoretical basis for the formation of modern philosophy. We will successively discuss the concepts of the unity of nature and mind, the new mythology, and discover the similarities between the ideas of Shelling, Hölderlin and Novalis, as well as identify the way Schelling goes further
