Originea timpului în scrierea lui Schelling ”Weltalter” (Vârstele lumii)

The Origin of Time in Schelling’s Weltalter (The Ages of the World). This paper traces the development of the concept of time in Schelling’s ”Ages of the World”, from the initial separation of forces within the present moment to the primordial Scheidung (separation) in the original being. The central thesis advanced here is that Schelling introduces an intermediate temporality: an inner time of eternity understood as a chronogenic transformation. This model, I argue, is appropriated from §4 of Fichte’s Foundations of the Entire Doctrine of Knowledge (1794). In the final section, I will attempt to sketch a brief outline of a transcendental reconstruction of Schelling’s theory – independent of its theological background – on the basis of his interpretation of the Kantian concept of causality
