The Absolute and the Concept of Difference: The Discourse between Schelling and Hegel 1794-1842

埃米·诺特少年研究小组的目的是，第一次，重建F. W. J.谢林和G.W.F.谢林之间的争论。黑格尔，跨越近五十年，全面和从一个特定的系统的观点。从历史的角度来看，该项目按时间顺序重建了两位思想家之间辩论的发展。因此，该项目试图表明，尽管两位思想家之间的所有论战，在底部是一个富有成效的和互惠的对话，这是一个复杂的相互作用的挪用和采取距离。从系统的角度来看，这场争论被重构为一场“差异之争”。在此过程中，讨论中形成的各种差异概念（如从属于同一性的数量差异、内部关系-动态差异、外部可变性等）都将被重新阐释。在一个关于差异的理想主义形式的类型学中进行分析和讨论。迄今为止，该项目的工作是以对话的五个步骤为基础，依次重建谢林和黑格尔之间的相互作用以及在这一过程中表达的差异概念。在这里要求的第六步中，将在此基础上探讨两个新的问题，这两个问题是项目工作中出现的必要问题，也就是贯穿整个对话的问题。（a）一方面，我们将重新整理谢林和黑格尔在（首先是）哲学史讲座中相互争论的时间顺序。著名的和有影响力的文本版本的各自讲座“哲学史”是编辑后，从思想家的遗产（由K.L. Michelet和K.F.A.谢林），并有可疑的真实性。该项目将重建这些相互表征的一个更有区别的图片，主要是基于学生的笔记（Nachschriften），也询问相互表征的变化。B）另一方面，这场辩论将以“方法之争”的观点进行审查。黑格尔死后，谢林公开指责他挪用了他（谢林）早期体系的方法，但同时又对其进行了不恰当的改造。相反，在黑格尔的演讲中，我们发现了对谢林完全缺乏方法的指责。该项目将重新构建这场辩论所涉及的不同方法论，并以比较的方式对其进行讨论。主要论点是，在方法问题上的分歧可以根据在项目的前几步中重建的差异概念来精确地解释。

The aim of the Emmy Noether junior research group, for which an extension application is made, is to, for the first time, reconstruct the dispute between F.W.J. Schelling and G.W.F. Hegel, spanning almost fifty years, comprehensively and from a specific systematic point of view. In an historical perspective, the project reconstructs the development of the debate between the two thinkers chronologically in its central steps. Thereby, the project tries to show that the debate, in spite of all the polemics between the two thinkers, is at bottom a productive and reciprocal dialogue, which takes place as a complex interplay of appropriation and taking distance. From a systematic perspective, the debate is reconstructed as a 'dispute about difference'. In doing so, the various conceptions of difference as developed in the course of the discussion (e.g. quantitative difference subordinate to identity, internal relational-dynamic difference, external alterity, etc.) are analyzed and discussed in a typology of idealistic forms of difference. The project work to date has been chronologically based on the progress of the dialogue in five steps, successively reconstructing the respective interactions between Schelling and Hegel as well as the conceptions of difference that are expressed in this process. In the sixth step requested here, two new questions are to be pursued based on this, which have arisen as desiderata from the project work, in the sense of transversal questions across the entire dialogue. a) On the one hand, the chronology of the mutual depictions of Schelling and Hegel in their lectures on (above all) the history of philosophy will be reconstructed. The well-known and influential text versions of the respective lectures on "History of Philosophy" were edited posthumously from the thinkers’ estate (by K.L. Michelet and by K.F.A. Schelling) and are of questionable authenticity. The project will reconstruct a much more differentiated picture of these mutual representations, mostly based on students’ notes (Nachschriften), also inquiring changes in the mutual presentations. b) On the other hand, the debate is to be examined with a view to a 'dispute about method'. After Hegel's death, Schelling publicly accuses him of having appropriated the method of his (Schelling's) earlier system, but at the same time improperly transformed it. Conversely, in Hegel's lectures, we find the accusation that Schelling was completely lacking a method. The project will reconstruct the different methodological approaches involved in this debate and discuss them, in a comparative manner. The main thesis is that the divergence in the question of method may precisely be explained based on the conceptions of difference that were reconstructed in the previous steps of the project.
