'The whole of modern European philosophy', wrote F.W.J.
Schelling in 1809, 'has this common deficiency - that nature does
not exist for it.' Despite repeated echoes of Schelling's
assessment throughout the natural sciences, and despite the
philosophy of nature recently proposed but not completed by Gilles
Deleuze, Philosophies of Nature After Schelling argues that
Schelling's verdict remains accurate two hundred years later.
Presenting a lucid account of Schelling's major works in the
philosophy of nature alongside those of his scientific
contemporaries who pursued and furthered that work, this book does
not simply aim to present Schelling's extravagant 'speculative
physics' as an historical episode. Rather, Schelling's programme is
presented as a viable and necessary corrective both to the
rejection of metaphysics and the correlative 'antiphysics' at the
ethical heart of contemporary philosophy.
