Western philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900; Social & political philosophy; Conservation of the environment

In the first study to

examine F. W. J. Schelling’s political thought, Velimir Stojkovski not

only unearths a neglected dimension of the influential thinker's philosophy but

further shows what it can teach us about our ethical and political

responsibilities today.

Unlike Hegel or

Fichte, Schelling never wrote a political treatise. Yet by reconstructing the

portions of such works as The New

Deductions of Natural Right that deal explicitly with the political and

by thematically rethinking parts of his writings that have a clear

repercussion on politics – in particular those on nature, freedom and

religion – this book reveals the centrality of politics to his oeuvre.

Revisiting his

corpus in this way, Stojkovski uncovers a number of ways we can learn from

Schelling and his reception. He examines how Schelling’s views on nature can

clarify our moral and political obligations to the non-human world and

further demonstrates how the separation of ontology as first philosophy from

the ethico-political has resulted in a fragmented view of the status of the

political subject and thus the body politic. Forcefully renouncing this fragmentation, Stojkovski explores how the same divide has

contributed to the ongoing political turmoil in Europe and America.

Combining an exploration of German

Idealism with contemporary concerns, this is an essential study that will

introduce readers to a new Schelling: a political thinker for the 21st

century.
