Barbarian Principle, The Merleau-Ponty, Schelling, and the Question of Nature 1st Edition – (PDF/EPUB Version)

Essays exploring a rich intersection between phenomenology and idealism with contemporary relevance. Toward the end of his life, Maurice Merleau-Ponty made a striking retrieval of F. W. J. Schelling’s philosophy of nature. The Barbarian Principle explores the relationship between these two thinkers on this topic, opening up a dialogue with contemporary philosophical and ecological significance that will be of special interest to philosophers working in phenomenology and German idealism. Jason M. Wirth is Professor of Philosophy at Seattle University and the author of The Conspiracy of Life: Meditations on Schelling and His Time, also published by SUNY Press. Patrick Burke is Professor of Philosophy at Gonzaga University and is Dean of Gonzaga-in-Florence.
