Meer over het boek

Schelling‹s natural philosophy almost faded into obscurity for a long time. For some years now it has been experiencing an unexpected renaissance, particulary among physicists and biologists. Philosophers and natural scientists have been increasingly trying to deal with Schelling and have been making efforts to reapproach his speculative concept of nature. Michael Rudolphi provides a systematic reconstruction of the origins of natural philosophy in Schelling‹s early writings. Using the construction of matter as an example, he describes how the productions of natural subjects develop. In a confrontation with current elementary particle physics, Schelling‹s speculation about nature is subjected to a critical discussion.
