Giulia Bernard // Apr 26, 2024

We are very glad to give notice of the opening of a Call for Papers for the issue of Implications philosophiques on Schelling’s Naturphilosophie: A legacy.

Editors: Caroline Angleraux (Inserm), Circé Furtwängler (Paris 1), Louis Morelle (Paris 1).

Deadline for the submission: May 15th, 2024.

Below you can find the text of the call.

”Mr. Schelling again returned to nature its legitimate rights; he strove for a reconciliation of spirit and nature; he wanted to join both again in the eternal world-soul. He restored that great Naturphilosophie which we find in the ancient Greek philosophers […]”, so writes Heinrich Heine attempting in 1834 to provide a history of then-recent German philosophy. While the name of Schelling is inextricably linked with Naturphilosophie, this association is not an unpolemic or unproblematic one. From the start, his project of a Philosophy of Nature has faced its share of criticisms, stemming from philosophy as well as the sciences: as a purely speculative thought aspiring to rival empirical physics on its own terms, Naturphilosophie could readily be described as the most accomplished form of philosophical Schwärmerei. And to be sure, its grandiose ambitions, its stepping beyond the bounds of human understanding (as set in kantian terms) to recreate through purely conceptual concatenation the stages leading to the worldly emergence of consciousness, were easily seen as yielding little more than an artful metaphysical tale wherein the natural sciences figured, at best, in an ancillary role with regards to a vast (if somewhat confusing) story about spirit conquering its own freedom through its journey in the material realm. A strange mixture of mythological ambition, empirical appropriation, and wild formalism, Naturphilosophie was (and long remained) seen as the adolescent phase of german idealism, a perhaps creative moment that fortunately gave way to more mature developments, ones able to provide proper accounts of idealism, empiricism, and history, as found in the latter Schelling.

The preceding account, popularized by hegelian historiography as well as the general disgrace of so-called ‘romantic science’ after the advent of positivism, has faced a growing series of scholarly challenges in the light of recent historical research, which has worked to bring light Schelling’s own implication within the scientific debates of his time, as well the broader relevance of Naturphilosophie, not only as a speculative concern but also an epistemological one, involved in active scientific conceptual stakes. More recently, contemporary metaphysics has found in Schelling’s naturphilosophischen writings some fruitful use, be it for a revival of the idealism-realism controversy, or an account of the ontological status of nonhuman beings.

This call for contributions is aimed at researchers working on Schelling’s Naturphilosophie and its reception, at the meeting point of metaphysics, history of philosophy, and history of science. It will pay special attention to contributions aiming at highlighting how concepts and problems specific to schellingian Naturphilosophie might have historically influenced or found resonance in later philosophies, or, at a more conceptual level, can bring light on contemporary debates.

New Release: Michael Lewin, “Klassische Deutsche Philosophie. Wege in die Zukunft” (Brill, 2024)

Mattia Megli // Apr 24, 2024

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Klassische Deutsche Philosophie. Wege in die Zukunft, edited by Michael Lewin (Brill, 2024).

From the publisher’s website:

In seiner „Kritik der reinen Vernunft“ unterscheidet Immanuel Kant zwischen rationaler und historischer philosophischer Erkenntnis. Erkenntnis ist historisch, wenn man sich nach fremder Vernunft bildet, und rational, wenn man Erkenntnisse aus eigener Vernunft schöpft. Dazwischen liegt die historisch-rationale philosophische Geschichte der Philosophie. Die Beiträge in diesem Band machen sich alle drei Perspektiven zunutze. Unter den behandelten Themen sind formale Logik, das ‚Transzendentale‘, der Begriff des Begriffs, Begriffsanalyse und Sprachanalyse, Vernunft, Biomimetik, Idealismus, logische Analyse formaler und realer Gegenstände, Asylrecht und Umweltethik. Im Fokus stehen dabei Überlegungen zur Aktualität, Zukunftsrelevanz und zu Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten der Theorien von Kant, Reinhold, Fichte, Schelling und Hegel.

New Release: Michele Capasso, “L’essere come ritorno. Il concetto di riflessione nella filosofia di Hegel” (Inschibboleth, 2024)

Mattia Megli // Apr 22, 2024

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume L’essere come ritorno. Il concetto di riflessione nella filosofia di Hegel, by Michele Capasso (Inschibboleth, 2024).

From the publisher’s website:

La questione del cominciamento è probabilmente il tema più dibattuto della filosofia hegeliana. Al di là degli studi di carattere storiografico, l’interpretazione della prima triade dialettica – Essere, Nulla, Divenire – ha costituito il fondamento più o meno esplicito di varie e complesse teorie filosofiche. Tuttavia, il problema dell’inizio appare illuminato in modo inedito muovendo dai concetti di essenza e riflessione, dedotti nel secondo libro della Scienza della Logica, la Dottrina dell’essenza. Qui si comprende come il cominciamento non appaia come il prodotto di un gesto arbitrario, ma in quanto risultato di una necessità intrinseca al dispiegamento dell’Idea. L’essere, che inizialmente “appare” come mero presupposto, si rivela in verità solo alla luce del movimento riflessivo, che lo pone come «ritorno in se stesso». L’inizio si comprende così come un’operazione interna alla riflessione che, sospendendo se stessa, toglie il proprio porre. Nella sua articolazione concettuale, la riflessione rappresenta una sorta di “logica della logica” e il luogo privilegiato per comprendere l’essenza della dialettica.

CFP: “System and Complexity in Classical German Philosophy” («Cogency», 2024)

Giulia La Rocca // Apr 18, 2024

We are glad to give notice that the call for papers for the topical issue of «Cogency» on System and Complexity in Classical German Philosophy is now open.

Guest editors of this issue will be Pablo Pulgar Moya (Diego Portales University, Chile), and Fernanda Medina (Adolfo Ibáñez University, Chile).

Submission deadline is June 15th, 2024. The publication is expected for August 2024.

Please find below the text of the call.

Theme and scope.

The international journal Cogency dedicates its XXth volume to the concepts of system and complexity in German Classical Philosophy specially Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel. The problem of complexity has taken place since philosophy as a problem located in the systemic relationship between the totality and its parts. This relation, which has been going on since Heraclitus, has been predominant in the course of the so-called German Idealism. The unity of the parts in the totality presents us with the philosophical dilemma of the coherence and connection of the system and subsystems. The unity of the totality captivated the attention and criticism of various German authors towards the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Hölderlin’s hen-kai-pan (one-and-all) is the manifest result of this spirit of the times, which is gestated in dialogues, epistolaries and voluminous replies. Philosophical thought as a unitary system is representative of canonical authors of German idealism, but who differ in the diverse ontology of that unit in the metaphysical, aesthetic, political, practical corpus, etc. In this sense, the complexity of relations and interrelations of the systems marks the guiding thread of the debates on unity and difference in canonical authors such as Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and Jacobi. This complexity is the theme of the current volume.

The aim of the volume is to examine whether inputs drawn from the Classical German philosophical tradition help address important questions about the composition, nature and/or structure of philosophical systems. To this goal, this issue aims to compare different perspectives on this problem and, since Kant, critically thematize systematicity of philosophy, which radically transformed the way in which modern philosophy conceives itself. Some of the fundamental issues that structure this number are the following:

A) The problem of the system of pure reason in Kant and the understanding of the architectural unity of Kantian rational activity. The overcoming of the idea of the system as a pure logical totality and the postulation of reason as an expression of the autonomy of thought.
B) The adoption and inversion by different Kant’s successors of the architectural difference between the propaedeutic critique and the encyclopedic system. Completion and overcoming of Kant’s system as doctrine of science, as philosophy of the absolute or as speculative philosophy by Fichte, Schelling and Hegel.
C) The differentiation of the concepts of system in a comparative way among authors such as Spinoza, Leibniz, Hölderlin, Blumemberg, Jacobi or Meldelsohn.
D) The complex character of the systems of German idealism. By this we refer to the multiplicity of argumentative stages they compose, which combine heterogeneous areas.
E) The importance of the systematic scientific examination of epistemological, moral and aesthetic dimension shared by Classical German philosophers. The continuous debate with other internal systems.
Submission guidelines: The manuscript (written either in English or Spanish) should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words (including tables, references, figure captions, and endnotes). We would especially welcome submissions addressing anything from the following non-exhaustive list topics:

Historical approach to doctrinal conception of a system in one of the authors
Demand that metaphysics should be presented in the form of a system, or that it should be demonstrated from key first principles.
Demand that practical or ethical philosophy should be presented in the form of a system.
Encyclopaedical system as complex system or philosophical project
Relation of complex systems with specific key terms, i.e.:
system and critique
system and doctrine
system and life

New Release: Karl Christian Friedrich Krause, “Das System der Rechtsphilosophie” (Meiner, 2024)

Mattia Megli // Apr 14, 2024

We are glad to give notice of the release of the volume Das System der Rechtsphilosophie. Entwurf eines europäischen Staatenbundes, by Karl Christian Friedrich Krause and edited by Benedikt Paul Göcke, Elena Maria Catania and Claus Dierksmeier (Meiner, 2024).

From the publisher’s website:

Der Rechtsphilosophie K. C. F. Krauses (1781–1832) wurde bisher viel zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Das muss verwundern, denn während die meisten deutschen Philosophen um 1800 Mensch über Natur, Mann über Frau, Eltern über Kinder und Deutschland über alles stellten, stritt Krause für die Emanzipation und Gleichberechtigung der Frau, die Rechte insbesondere von Menschen mit Behinderungen, einen nachhaltigen Umgang mit der Natur, gerade auch im Hinblick auf zukünftige Generationen, für Tierrechte sogar, und trat für sozialpflichtiges Eigentum und dessen subsidiär-solidarischen Gebrauch zugunsten aller Bedürftigen ein.
Krause forderte ferner ein Weltbürgerrecht und entwarf im Lichte dessen eine Musterverfassung sowohl für eine europäische Völkerunion als auch einen Weltbund der Nationen, um regionale und globale Governance voranzutreiben und Kolonialunrecht auszugleichen.
Der rote Faden, der diese für seine Zeit außergewöhnlich progressiven Forderungen verband, ist die Theorie der Freiheit. Für Krause markiert die Idee der Freiheit nicht nur das Ziel der praktischen Philosophie, sie gibt ihr auch die Methode vor: Krause war einer der Ersten, die sich an einer dialogisch-partizipatorischen Neuausrichtung der Philosophie versuchten, mit dem Ziel, die von rechtlichen Regelungen Betroffenen zu Beteiligten im Prozess ihrer Entstehung zu machen. Daraus resultiert eine Rechtslehre, die auch und gerade für Fragen der Gegenwart erhebliches Anregungspotential bietet.

Below you can find the description of the event.

***

Luigi Pareyson (1918-1991), one of the most important Italian philosophers of the 20th century, was one of the founders of modern philosophical hermeneutics. Throughout his life he tried to mediate between German and Italian philosophy. In his early writings he analyzed German existentialism and developed it in the direction of ontological personalism. Later, he interpreted classical German idealism in the light of renewed historiographical perspectives and, at the same time, developed aesthetics as a theory of “formativity.” Pareyson developed the first draft of a philosophy of interpretation in the sense of an ontology of the inexhaustible and an ontology of freedom.
