But it was the processes of nature, not the career ofhumanity, that absorbed the best energies of Schelling, and theelaboration of a philosophical idea of organic evolution was theprominent feature of his speculation. His influence--and it waswide, reaching even scientific biologists--lay chiefly in diffusingthis idea, and he thus contributed to the formation of a theorywhich was afterwards to place the idea of Progress on a moreimposing base.
