The idea that we propose to investigate in this project can be summarized as follows: God, in the “Munich Lessons on the History of Modern Philosophy”, is neither just any 'metaphysical topic' of Schellinguian speculation, nor just a 'god of philosophers', He is the central axis around which Schelling carries out his critical deconstruction of Modernity and his positive creation of a new philosophy. God is not just a metaphysical topic because he is the very foundation of the possibility of all Metaphysics: prior to it and presupposed by it. He is the pure “Quod”, the absolute, extra-conceptual Being. But He is not just another philosophical god either, because Schelling was looking for the God of faith, not the god of reason; the revealed God, rather than the proven god; a living God, in place of a dead god. Our objective is, in this sense, to demonstrate that the real Schellinguian project of “Lessons” was nothing more than to use this positive idea of God to put the negativity of Modern Philosophy under judgment, proposing the famous division of all philosophical thought into two opposite poles, but complementary: the “positive” and the “negative Philosophie”.
