The article explores Friedrich Schlegel's attempt to develop a transcendental philosophical system between 1800 and 1801, within a context dominated by interpretations of Kantian criticism. Although Schlegel's project was overshadowed by the success of other philosophers like Schelling and Hegel, it offers valuable insights for the post-Kantian debate. The author analyzes Schlegel's approach to philosophy as an "infinite experiment," grounded in a dynamic balance between skepticism and enthusiasm. Central to this view is the idea of philosophy as a self-reflective activity, which does not aspire to absolute truth but evolves in a continuous cycle of relative truths. The essay delves into Schlegel's conception of philosophy as a dialectical and allegorical method, where thought and the natural world are united in a process of symbolic production. It argues that this vision anticipates key themes in contemporary thought and re-evaluates philosophy as an existential exercise.

Abstract
The article explores Friedrich Schlegel's attempt to develop a transcendental philosophical system between 1800 and 1801, within a context dominated by interpretations of Kantian criticism. Although Schlegel's project was overshadowed by the success of other philosophers like Schelling and Hegel, it offers valuable insights for the post-Kantian debate. The author analyzes Schlegel's approach to philosophy as an "infinite experiment," grounded in a dynamic balance between skepticism and enthusiasm. Central to this view is the idea of philosophy as a self-reflective activity, which does not aspire to absolute truth but evolves in a continuous cycle of relative truths. The essay delves into Schlegel's conception of philosophy as a dialectical and allegorical method, where thought and the natural world are united in a process of symbolic production. It argues that this vision anticipates key themes in contemporary thought and re-evaluates philosophy as an existential exercise.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
