This book explores the relevance of naturalism and theories of
nature to Classical German Philosophy. It presents new readings on
Kant, Jacobi, Goethe, the Romantic tradition, Fichte, Schelling,
Hegel, and Marx, which highlight the relevance of Classical German
Philosophy's considerations of nature and naturalism for
contemporary concerns.
This collection of essays investigates the notions of life, living
organisms, and human nature in Classical German Philosophy from a
historical and conceptual perspective. Its 19 chapters move from
the peculiarities of organic life to the peculiarities of the
distinctly human life form and discuss the strengths and weaknesses
of naturalistic accounts of life. In light of the growing interest
in nature within current philosophical debates, the book provides
an overview of what the philosophical epoch of Kant, Fichte,
Schelling, Humboldt, the Romantics, Hegel, and others can
contribute to our understanding of life today. The collection of
essays represents a plurality of approaches that reflects the
pluralism of the tradition itself – highlighting the liveliness
and polyphonic nature of the issues at stake and the ways in which
they were approached in post-Kantian thought.In combining
historical and philosophical investigation, the collection
constitutes a unique resource for scholars and graduate students
working in various areas related to the study of nature in
philosophy, contemporary theories of science, and the humanities
more generally.Â
One of the first priority areas among joint East/West research
programs is the rational use of natural resources and sustainable
development of regions. In the boreal zone of North America and
Eurasia forests are economically very important and, at the same
time highly vulnerable to disturbances. Because of its size and
ecological functions the boreal forest zone and its most dynamic
disturbance factor - fire - play an important role in ecosystem
processes on global scale. Interest within the global change
research community in Northern Eurasia (Fennoscandia, European
Russia, Siberia, and the Far East of Russia) has grown dramatically
in the last few years. It is a vast area about which very little is
known. It is a region where temperature rise due to anthropogenic
climate forcing is predicted to be the greatest, and where the
consequent feedbacks to the atmosphere are potentially large. In
addition, it is poised to undergo rapid economic development, which
may lead to large and significant changes to its land cover. Much
of this interest in Northern Eurasia, as in the high latitude
regions in general, is centerd on its role in the global carbon
cycle, which is likely to be significantly affected under global
change. New research initiatives between Western and Eastern
countries have been designed to address a series of phenomena,
problems and management solutions.

Johann Kohl was an educated, urbane, and well-trained German
geographer, ethnologist, and popular writer. During his visit with
the Lake Superior Ojibwa in 1855, he made useful and unbiased
studies of their material culture, religion, and folklore...The
extent of Kohl's observations is really amazing. They cover the fur
trade, canoe building, domestic utensils, quillwork, native foods,
hunting, fishing, trapping, cooking, toboggans, snowshoes,
gardening, lodge building, games and warfare.
