SUMMARY:Schelling and the Frankfurt School
DESCRIPTION:The contemporary importance of the resonances between the thoug
 ht of F.W.J. Schelling and the thinkers of the Frankfurt School\, especial
 ly on nature\, materialism\, freedom\, and aesthetics\, is becoming increa
 singly acknowledged. Confrontations between Schelling and thinkers such as
  Adorno raise questions about the origins of the domination of nature and 
 how we should respond to the uses and abuses of human freedom and rational
 ity. At the same time\, such encounters pose methodological challenges. Ho
 w can Frankfurt School Critical Theory\, as a school of thought that explo
 res the intersections of social research and philosophy\, come to terms wi
 th philosophical works from the 1790s–1800s in a transformed historical 
 context? While the influences of Kant and Hegel\, among others\, on this t
 radition have been examined in great detail\, the discussion of Schelling'
 s relevance to the Frankfurt School has not received the same attention. R
 evisiting this relationship today will contribute to assessing the histori
 cal influence of Schelling’s understanding of nature\, freedom and aesth
 etics on the Frankfurt School. A renewed reading of Schelling through Fran
 kfurt School Critical Theory could moreover inform systematic discussions 
 of contemporary challenges\, such as the climate crisis.\nThe two-day work
 shop will feature four talks and a concluding panel discussion on the firs
 t day. Presentations will be given by Camilla Flodin\, Philipp Höfele\, S
 ean McGrath\, and Philipp Schwab. On the second day\, a reading seminar wi
 ll focus on the relationship between Schelling's Freiheitsschrift (1809) a
 nd Adorno's Negative Dialectics (1966). The latest version of the program 
 can be downloaded here.\n \nThe workshop is organized by Kyla Bruff\, Tob
 ias Heinze\, and Martin Saar\, in cooperation between the Institute for So
 cial Research\, the Department of Philosophy at Carleton University\, and 
 the Institute for Philosophy at Goethe University Frankfurt.\nThe presenta
 tions on the first day of the workshop will take place in person\, with th
 e option for online participation. The reading seminar on the second day w
 ill take place in person only.\nTimes: June 16: 11:00 – 19:00\, June 17:
  10:00 – 13:30.\n \nRegistration is required. Please register with Tobi
 as Heinze by emailing t.heinze@em.uni-frankfurt.de before June 2. Please i
