The paper reconstructs Gianni Carchia’s reading of the elaborate notion of love in Schelling’s philosophy of freedom. Love, according to Schelling, is a relationship between two terms, which have the power to exist independently of the relationship itself and therefore freely choose to bind themselves to each other. According to the analysis conducted by the philosopher from Turin, love in this context is not only a uniting force, but also a self-destructive force, pushing man towards the abyss. On the basis of his reading of Schellingian texts, Carchia then theorized a form of philosophy in which the dialectical form of mediation is transcended by narrative.
