This perspective is not surprising since Schelling regarded religion (not science or philosophy) as embodying the most complete manifestation of truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeach examines Schelling's novel attempt to account for the changing historical forms of religion in terms of a complex theory of dynamic spiritual powers, or \"potencies.\" He shows that these are not mere representations, ideas, or projected feelings created by ancient myth-makers for the benefit of a credulous populace. Instead, Beach demonstrates that these potencies should be seen as animate powers inhabiting the unconscious strata of a people's collective mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591704952983,"sku":"9780791409749","price":3862.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780791409749.webp?v=1774974192","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-potencies-of-god-s-schellings-philosophy-of-mythology-9780791409749","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
