Abstract: The paper aims to provide an introduction to Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling’s enigmatic masterpiece Philosophical investigation into the essence of human freedom and matters connected therewith. It uncovers some of its themes namely God’s self-revelation, the processes of creation, human nature, and evil. It presents some of the underlying arguments of Schelling’s notoriously difficult work. More specifically, the paper explains how the possibility and actuality of evil can be deduced through the presentation of God in terms of ground and existence and his self-manifestation as such.
