This will be great.

Della Rocca has some fun at the end of 'The Parmenidean Ascent.' Always nice to see.

'With the Parmenidean Ascent, all texts become permanently relevant to philosophy, permanently alive. To view philosophy thus is to see the past of philosophy as endlessly alive in its present' (Della Rocca, 'The Parmenidean Ascent', 196).

Next up: 'The Parmenidean Ascent' by Michael Della Rocca.

I've been looking forward to this one. I love the way Della Rocca writes. So clear, conversational, and engaging.

In my opinion, one of the most exciting contemporary philosophers hands down.

Very happy to see Schelling's Stuttgart Lectures getting some love. Probably my favorite 'work' of his.

'Žižek argues somewhere...' is possibly the least helpful citation of all time.

FYI This is NOT the correct way to treat being pepper-sprayed. The fact that cops use weapons against civilians that they themselves do not understand is very troubling (to say the absolute least).

Revisiting 'The Schelling - Eschenmayer Controversy, 1801: Nature and Identity' from Berger and Whistler.

'There is an idealism of nature and an idealism of the I. For me, the former is original, the latter is derived' (Schelling, 'On the True Concept', pg. 48).

Good tip. Also helps with word count issues.

Today is the day!
If you, like myself, do not have $90 sitting around for a book (though I'm sure it's worth every penny) put in a request through your library so they can add it to their collection. And of course, huge congratulations to Naomi!

Brutal week. Time for some Kant.

Less than a week until 'Schelling's Mystical Platonism:
1792-1802' by Naomi Fisher comes out from Oxford Academic. I don't think I'll be able to afford it for a while, but I sure am excited to read it once I can.

I can't wait to read this!

Resource for all things Jacobi including the important fact that despite appearances, he is not Kant.

Just discovered that an article I wrote in what feels like another life (my Laruelle days) is cited in 'Borderwaters: Amid the Archipelagic States of America' by Brian Russell Roberts. Kind of cool to see.

My review of Daniele Fulvi's 'Schelling, Freedom, and the Immanent Made Transcendent: From Philosophy of Nature to Environmental Ethics' is now available at Symposium CSCP/SCPC
