This book develops an original interpretation of the relationship between F.W.J. Schelling and G.W.F. Hegel. It argues that the difference between these philosophers must be understood in light of their shared commitment to the philosophy of nature and the idea that spirit, or humanity, emerges from the natural world. The author makes a case for the contemporary relevance of German idealist philosophy of nature by walking the reader through its major themes, motivations, and arguments. Along the way, Schelling and Hegel are shown to develop key insights about the structure of reality and the dependence of living things and human beings upon inorganic natural processes. In elucidating the details of Schelling’s and Hegel’s respective philosophies of nature, the book challenges some of our most basic assumptions about the scope of philosophical inquiry and the relationship between matter, life, and human existence. Schelling, Hegel, and the Philosophy of Nature will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on German idealism, as well as those interested in contemporary philosophies of nature and the topic of emergence.
F.W.J. Schelling (1775-1854) stands alongside J.G. Fichte and G.W.F. Hegel as one of the great philosophers of the German idealist tradition. The Schelling Reader introduces students to Schelling’s philosophy by guiding them through the first ever English-language anthology of his key texts—an anthology which showcases the vast array of his interests and concerns (metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of nature, ethics, aesthetics, philosophy of religion and mythology, and political philosophy). The reader includes the most important passages from all of Schelling’s major works as well as lesser-known yet illuminating lectures and essays, revealing a philosopher rigorously and boldly grappling with some of the most difficult philosophical problems for over six decades, and constantly modifying and correcting his earlier thought in light of new insights. Schelling’s evolving philosophies have often presented formidable challenges to the teaching of his thought. For the first time, The Schelling Reader arranges readings from his work thematically, so as to bring to the fore the basic continuity in his trajectory, as well as the varied ways he tackles perennial problems. Each of the twelve chapters includes sustained readings that span the whole of Schelling’s career, along with explanatory notes and an editorial introduction that introduces the main themes, arguments, and questions at stake in the text. The Editors’ Introduction to the volume as a whole also provides important details on the context of Schelling’s life and work to help students effectively engage with the material.
During the first decade of the nineteenth century, F. W. J. Schelling was involved in three distinct controversies with one of his most perceptive and provocative critics, A. C. A. Eschenmayer. The first of these controversies took place in 1801 and focused on the philosophy of nature.Berger and Whistler provide a ground-breaking account of this moment in the history of philosophy. They argue that key Schellingian concepts, such as identity, potency and abstraction, were first forged in his early debate with Eschenmayer. Through a series of translations and commentaries, they show that the 1801 controversy is an essential resource for understanding Schelling's thought, the philosophy of nature and the origins of absolute idealism.Additionally, Berger and Whistler demonstrate how the Schelling-Eschenmayer controversy raises important issues for the philosophy of nature today, including questions about the relation between identity and difference and the possibility of explaining sensible qualities in terms of quantity. This ultimately leads to the formulation of the most basic methodological question for the philosophy of nature: must this philosophy be based upon a prior consideration of consciousness as Eschenmayer insists or might it simply begin with nature itself? By arguing for the latter position, Schelling challenges us to entertain the possibility that the philosophy of nature is first philosophy.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Elektrotechnik, Note: 1,3, Technische Universitat Chemnitz (Informationstechnik), Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Dies ist die einzige mir bekannte Realisierung einer Regelung des Inversen Pendels ohne Nutzung von Mikroprozessoren bzw. Software. Durch die reine Hardwareimplementierung von Regelung und Kalman-Filters sind schnelle Reaktionen und damit eine kurze Pendellange moglich. Der Demonstrator zu dieser Diplomarbeit lauft seit Anfang 2005 ununterbrochen (d.h. seit uber 5 Jahren) im Schaukasten der Professur "Schaltkreis- und Systementwurf" an der TU-Chemnitz und kann per Knopfdruck fur einige Minuten gestartet werden. Adresse: Weinholdbau 4. OG, Reichenhainer Str. 70, 09126 Chemnitz., Abstract: Schlagworte: Inverses Pendel, Hardware-Regelung, Kalman-Filter, FPGA, LQR, LQG keywords: inverted pendulum, hardware closed loop control, kalman filter, FPGA, LQR, LQG Kurzreferat Ziel der Arbeit ist die anschauliche Demonstration der Leistungsfahigkeit von Hardware- Systemen zur Regelung instabiler Systeme am Beispiel des Inversen Pendels. Dabei handelt es sich um das Balancieren eines Stabes, einem Standard-Problem der Regelungstechnik. Es wird die Konzeption und Implementierung einer Hardware-Regelung in einem FPGA-Prototypenboard zur Realisierung dieser Aufgabe beschrieben. Die Regelung basiert mit LQR-Entwurf und Kalman-Filter auf klassischen Methoden der Regelungstechnik. Zur Demonstration der Regelung wurde ein mechanischer Aufbau vorgenommen, an dem die Funktionsfahigkeit des Inversen Pendels praktisch gezeigt wurde. Motivation Regelungen findet man heute auf vielen technischen und nichttechnischen Gebieten. Angefangen von Regelungen in Haushaltsgeraten uber geregelte Fahrzeugsysteme (z.B. Klimaanlage, Stabilitatskontrolle) bis hin zu Prozessregelungen industrieller Grossanlagen oder Lageregelung von Satelliten besteht ein grosser Bedarf an Regelungssystemen. Wahrend einfache Regelungsaufgaben rein mechanis
