The essay examines the “highest question” at the heart of F.W.J. Schelling’s Philosophische Untersuchungen über das Wesen der menschlichen Freiheit, which is introduced in terms of how God, as a moral being, relates to his self-revelation. Focusing in particular on the meaning and role of the definition of God as a moral and self-revealing being, the essay analyses the status of self-revelation as a morally free and necessary “action and act”. The essay aims to demonstrate that the “highest question” is not the problem of theodicy, as it might seem. Rather, the “highest question” emerges through the performative destitution of the latter and turns out to be the issue of why God reveals himself.

Abstract
The essay examines the “highest question” at the heart of F.W.J. Schelling’s Philosophische Untersuchungen über das Wesen der menschlichen Freiheit, which is introduced in terms of how God, as a moral being, relates to his self-revelation. Focusing in particular on the meaning and role of the definition of God as a moral and self-revealing being, the essay analyses the status of self-revelation as a morally free and necessary “action and act”. The essay aims to demonstrate that the “highest question” is not the problem of theodicy, as it might seem. Rather, the “highest question” emerges through the performative destitution of the latter and turns out to be the issue of why God reveals himself.
