Charlotte Alderwick presents Schelling’s ontology as fundamentally powerbased. She demonstrates that this ontology enables his unique conception of human freedom outlined in the 'Freedom' essay. This distinctive reading demonstrates that Schelling’s powerbased ontology can usefully problematise and supplement contemporary work on powerbased ontologies. First, where current work focuses on powers in relation to specific areas of metaphysics, Schelling provides a holistic picture, encompassing these areas into a single ontological story. Secondly, engagement with Schelling’s work points to problems (and to possible solutions) that will arise for any powerbased metaphysics, but have not been examined in the literature.
