Summary/Abstract: The essay analyzes the relationship between spirit (Geist) and organism as posited by the early Schelling in his Abhandlungen zur Erläuterung des Idealismus der Wissenschaftslehre. A detailed analysis of Schelling’s procedure, especially in the second and third treatise, shows that Schelling – rather tacitly – pursues a way leading from the transcendental concept of subjectivity towards a metaphysics of the spirit, undertaking a process of its own increasingly more adequate self-objectivation. In this sense, one can speak here of a phenomenology of spirit in statu nascendi.
