Schelling's Organic Form of Philosophy: Life as the Schema of Freedom (SUNY Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy)

Locates in Schelling a new understanding of our relation to nature in philosophy.

The life and ideas of F. W. J. Schelling are often overlooked in favor of the more familiar Kant, Fichte, or Hegel. What these three lack, however, is Schellingâ€™s evolving view of philosophy. Where others saw the possibility for a single, unflinching system of thought, Schelling was unafraid to question the foundations of his own ideas. In this book, Bruce Matthews argues that the organic view of philosophy is the fundamental idea behind Schellingâ€™s thought. Focusing in particular on Schellingâ€™s early writings, especially on Plato and Kant, Matthews explores Schellingâ€™s idea that any philosophical system must be perspectival and formed by each individual student of philosophy, providing a unique new understanding of an important and often-overlooked figure in the history of philosophy.
