Afterword to Tonny Aagaard Olesen’s article “Schelling: a historical introduction to Kierkegaard’s Schelling” (Part II). The main task of the afterword is to supplement the article of T. O. Olesen and to tell in detail how the German philosophical public perceived and appreciated the first Berlin lectures of F.W.J. Schellling. In the lecture course of 1841/42, Schelling sought to show the difference between the “dialectic of the real” and the “dialectic of the possible”, the way of thinking that was characteristic for Hegel's philosophy. In evaluation of the Hegelian part (the largest) of the German philosophical public, such a step on Schelling’s side rather meant an inability to understand the dialectics of Hegel and was interpreted as a “betrayal of philosophy” (A. Ruge) or as an attempt to return to the “Dark ages” of the rule of faith over reason (C. L. Michelet). The young Hegelians were the first to make their critical judgments, followed by the old Hegelians. The article discusses the reaction of A. Ruge, F. Engels, L. Feuerbach, on the one hand, and that of Ph. Marheineke, K. Rosenkranz, and C. L. Michelet, on the other. However, even in the evaluation of those contemporaries of Schelling who were not supporters of Hegel (such as F. C. Biederman and J. Burckhardt), the new, “positive” philosophy appeared to be an attempt to abandon disciplined, logical thinking. The German public wanted to do for Schelling the court and therefore did not think it possible to take care of his interests (Paulus case). The article concludes with some Russian listeners of Schelling's first Berlin lectures and their assessments.
