Abstract:Schelling’s early philosophy and his ground breaking dynamism sought to present what was beneath the surface of nature, in order to reveal the ideal interiority of nature’s real power, which for Schelling, was teeming with intensities, and forces displaying the unique inner life of the natural world. This paper’s thesis, is an attempt to revive Schelling’s early philosophy and Naturphilosophie, in the hopes of reconfiguring the modern conceptual gaze that has turned the natural world into a lifeless, empty, system. With (...) our current climate crisis on the horizon, a return to Schelling’s philosophy is an urgent endeavor and a call to philosophical arms in order to re-create a new relationship between modern humanity and nature, which ultimately seeks to grasps the organic world as not only productive, but also creative and alive.
