Franz Brentano interprete di Schelling: alcuni documenti inediti

In this paper the author reconsider Schelling's analysis of Brentano. Brentano's Thou- ghts have been widely discussed, but some aspects of his teaching must be recon- sidered. In particular his criticism of Schelling needs a critical reconstruction. To evaluate this aspect is of particular interest a handwritten volume of 950 pp., entitled Geschichte der Philosophic (1866-67), recently discovered by myself in Graz and expressly attributed to Brentano, as well as Brentano's Nachlass. So it is possible to shed new lights on Brentano's main goal to stress the importance of the Aristotelian studies and on his conviction to profoundly re-consider the mediaeval interpretations of Aristotle. That was originated from his studies in Berlin (Trendelenburg), then in Miinster (Clemens and Schluter) as well as influenced by the Mainzer (Ketteler cultu- ral background, connected with a criticism that in Brentano became explicit against Hegel and Schelling, forcefully opposed to the historicist -systernatic thinking of the German Idealism.
