9This book develops an original interpretation of the relationship between F.W.J. Schelling and G.W.F. Hegel. It argues that the difference between these philosophers must be understood in light of their shared commitment to the philosophy of nature and the idea that spirit, or humanity, emerges from the natural world. The author makes a case for the contemporary relevance of German idealist philosophy of nature by walking the reader through its major themes, motivations, and arguments. Along the…Read more

10The Schelling-Eschenmayer Controversy, 1801: Nature and IdentityEdinburgh University Press. 2020.Berger and Whistler provide a ground-breaking account of Schelling's first controversy with his critic A.C.A.

14How « Strong » is Ruyer?Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale 107 (3): 333-346. 2020.Dans cet article, nous nous proposons de souligner la proximité des philosophies de Raymond Ruyer (1902-1987) et de Charles-Augustus Strong (1862-1940).

Il ne s’agit pas ici d…Read more

39From nature to spirit : Schelling, Hegel, and the logic of emergenceDissertation, . 2016.This thesis is a study of the relationship between 'nature' and 'spirit' in the philosophies of F.W.J. Schelling and G.W.F. Hegel. I aim to show that Schelling and Hegel are involved in a shared task of conceiving spiritual freedom as a necessary outcome of nature's inner, rational development. I argue that by interpreting spirit as 'emergent' from nature, the absolute idealists develop a 'third way' beyond Cartesian dualism and monist naturalism. For on the idealist account, nature and spirit a…Read more
