F.W.J. Schelling on Allegory - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 86
Allegory/Schelling/Gadamer: It is the complete agreement between appearance and idea, which (...) - with Schelling - is thought in symbolic terms, while the non-conformance is reserved for allegory or mythical consciousness.
Still with Cassirer we find in a similar sense the aesthetic symbolism distinguished from the mythical one by the fact that in the aesthetic symbol the tension of image and meaning to balance is balanced - a final echo of the classicist concept of "Kunstreligion".(2) >Symbols/Kunstreligion/Gadamer
