Schelling: Crisis and Critique. Fifth Annual Meeting of the North American Schelling Society: NASS 5. 21-25 February 2017, Mexico City
Schelling emphasizes the connection between the critical method and the notion of crisis as separation, decision, and judgment. He realizes that crisis is constitutive of the critical enterprise and of philosophy in general. It is perhaps no coincidence that Schelling also recognized the profound crisis of the idealist project that he had grounded and sought to find new philosophical approaches that would respond to the crisis of rational science.
The aim of the conference is to think about the connection between crisis and critique, both in philosophy and in a general sense. Papers that address these notions in Schelling’s thought are welcome. Furthermore, Schelling’s thought often defines itself through the critique of other philosophers and in contrast to them, as characterizes the fabric of debates we now call German Idealism. This is another suggested perspective for contributions. Papers that aim to bring Schelling into contemporary discussions to show how Schelling's thought might be relevant, both historically and systematically, are also encouraged. Papers may be presented in English, Spanish or German. Selected papers will have 20 minutes presentation time at the conference.
