In Schelling's philosophical conception, art is set in an alternative: either as the ultimate moment of philosophical consciousness or as a phase in the identity system. The main question is how the essential character of Art is in relation to the human consciousness and significant in the light of philosophical apprehension. As the artistic intuition reflects objectively the intellectual intuition, the art reveals an original articulation with the absolute; art is considered as a presentation (Darstellung) of the absolute in the objective form, formulated in terms of imagination (Einbildung) or in-formation (Ineinsbildung), especially used by Schelling in adapting the mystic tradition. Since the metaphysical principles (infinite, finite; ideal, real) are interwoven in system, artistic imagination incarnates the construction of the Universe and integrates in itself the constructive meaning, which renders possible the philosophy of art.
