Abstract

Carlo Tatasciore, in the wake of Giuseppe Semerari, has an intense activity as interpreter and translator in Italy of Schelling’s thought. In his reading, at the center of the great German philosopher’s thought there are the “recovery (rehabilitation) of the existentµ, the preservation (protection) of pre-conceptual immediacy, the reflection on the sensible in the Schellingian philosophy of nature, and the problem of the Leibnzian question, “Why does something exist instead of nothing?µ, for Schelling “removed in eternityµ by virtue of the “absolute position of the idea of Godµ. The critical discussion of these themes is carried out in the present essay, making considerations on the way in which Hegel, responding with his “Anfangµ to Schelling, conceives of the true “eternal removalµ of absolute nothingness
