We invite applications for participation in a workshop devoted to investigating the philosophies of nature of F.W.J. Schelling and his contemporaries. Over a course of three days in June, participants will take part in a series of close readings and discussions of extracts by Schelling, Goethe and Eschenmayer. In addition, there will be a keynote lecture by Dalia Nassar, author of The Romantic Absolute (University of Chicago Press, 2013).
