How did Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling interpret the biblical Fall from grace?

In his work Of Human Freedom, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling interpreted the biblical Fall from grace as a fundamental perversion of the natural order within the human person.1

Schelling posited that every living thing is governed by two principles: a dark primal foundation of impulse and desire, and a clearheaded intellect intended to serve as a formative power. He argued that humanity committed the Fall by elevating the dark stratum of impulse above the intellect, thereby subordinating the intellect to these base drives. This reversal of the proper order allowed evil to enter the world.1

In his later philosophy, Schelling further characterized this event as humanity attempting to be equal to God, standing in opposition to the divine. He maintained that this state of perversion is ultimately revoked by God, who becomes man in Christ to reestablish the original, correct order.21
