Abstract
In his On Human Freedom, Schelling criticizes Spinoza's fatalism or determinism. While he attempts to save pantheism in its proper form, he accuses Spinoza's version of pantheism, not because it puts everything into God, but because it rejects true human freedom. We consider this account as right in some sense. For, between Spinoza and Schelling, we find crucial differences about freedom and necessity. For example, while Spinoza considers divine necessity and physical necessity to be not distinct things, Schelling considers them essentially different and even conflicting each other. On these considerations, we try to construe adequate position of Spinoza's view concerning with some main issues of On Human Freedom, i.e. God, evil, humanity, and history.
