In-Person Meeting: 24-26 May 2022, Toronto, Canada

Virtual Meeting: 30 May-1 June 2022

SCHELLING AND PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE

Schelling’s philosophy can be regarded as a philosophy of life. Life is presented in expansive and diverse ways in his many works. Schelling’s nature philosophy gives prominence to organic life. Yet his emphasis on the productivity or activity of nature draws our attention to the dynamic vitality of all natural phenomena. Many value Schelling’s work for its rich openings to spiritual life or the life of the mind. His appeal to the Weltseele suggests a co-constitution of nature and spirit. Some read his philosophy as a conspiracy of life, and others as having an asystasy, and as exposing the tensions or exceptions at the heart of philosophical systems. His restless philosophizing can be regarded as characterized by a vital productivity. Schelling’s philosophy of life might be read in many ways. All readings will be welcomed for the seventh meeting of the North American Schelling Society.

Keynote Speaker: Adrian Johnston (UNM)
