Friedrich Schelling on Knowledge

1775–1854 Germany

← All quotes by Friedrich Schelling

1 quote

The fear of speculation, the ostensible rush from the theoretical to the practical, brings about the same shallowness in action that it does in knowledge. It is by studying a strictly theoretical philosophy that we become most acquainted with Ideas, and only Ideas provide action with vigour and ethical meaning.
