System of Transcendental Idealism (1800)

System of Transcendental Idealism is probably Schelling's most important philosophical work. A central text in the history of German idealism, its original German publication in 1800 came seven years after Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre and seven years before Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Translated into English for the first time in 1978, it is now being offered in paperback.
