Visio intellectualis: Nicolás de Cusa y Schelling

Abstract

This work pretends to find a systematic proximity between Nicholas from Cues and German idealism, particularly, in the notion of "visio intellectualis", understood in the theoretical ground of knowledge. It pretends to demonstrate that what Cusanus thinks as "intellectual vision" ends up being not other thing than the "self-contemplating I" ["selbst anschauende Ich"] in which Schelling thinks and, therefore, that what is at the base of Cusanus' thought and was thought on his time in his way is the same thing that was shown at Schelling's time in Schelling's way.
