DEWS, P., Schelling's Late Philosophy in Confrontation with Hegel. Oxford University Press, 2023. 344p. Hardback. For someone who is sufficiently familiar with the Hegelian line of thinking but always had difficulty in understanding the philosophical alternative created by his contemporary Schelling, this book is a long-awaited stroke of luck. With enormous lucidity, clarity, and elegance its author, Peter Dews, succeeds in reconstructing step by step the philosophical arguments that allow Schelling to depart from Hegel's system to develop his own notion of the dialectics of human freedom. At the end of this long and thrilling journey through Schelling's oeuvre, one uncomfortably starts to wonder whether one's own intuitions concerning the place of reason within history are not better harbored by Schelling than by Hegel. Is there a better argument for the intellectual value of a book than its power to make one reconsider one's own cherished assumptions and beliefs? Axel Honneth, Jack C.
