Features: Schelling's System of Transcendental Idealism, a representative work of German classical idealism, both reflects the height achieved by Schelling's progressive aspects and foreshadows his turn toward reactionary conservatism. While translating this work, we felt it necessary to discuss the evolution of this philosopher's thought, which may help readers better understand the book. A completely revised or even inverted worldview, even if its principles have been rigorously proven, will continue to face criticism among those who can sense or truly perceive the clarity of its proof. The reason for this can only lie in the system's inability to escape from a multitude of concrete problems. The idle imagination, directly based on the altered perspective, derives these problems from the entire wealth of experience, leading to confusion and disarray in judgment.
