Schelling designed the 'Lectures on the Method of Academic Study' as an encyclopedic introduction for first-year students, but it is at the same time a concise introduction to his identity philosophy. The obituary for Immanuel Kant is followed by 'Philosophy and Religion', which had for a long time had scholars questioning whether or not it belonged to the »system of absolute identity«, which had been presented in 1801. In addition, there are historico-critical editions of some of Schelling's shorter works from his late Jena period and his time in Würzburg.
