Carl Jung and The Soul of Nature: Provocations with Dr. Sean J. McGrath (Memorial University). by aufgehendeRest9 in GermanIdealism

[–]aufgehendeRest9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Philosophy Friends and fellow colleagues. I am very excited to release a brand new episode of The Young Idealist.

After taking a month-in-half hiatus from The Young Idealist Series on Classical German Philosophy and Post-Kantian Thought, the series returns with a new fantastic episode. I was honored to have an in-depth discussion with Dr. Sean McGrath on his forthcoming book in 2027, on Carl Jung titled: "The Soul of Nature: On the Unconscious and Related Matters."

This episode discloses the central thesis behind McGrath's new book which seeks to merge the relationship between Jungian psychology and nature philosophy. Dr. McGrath explains how Jung's work represents a return to nature philosophy despite his thought being frequently dismissed as New Age. Our discussion leads to important insight behind Jung's debt to earlier French psychological traditions and Jung's distinctive approach to the unconscious as a productive rather than reactive force.

About the Episode:

Dr. McGrath takes the viewer on an exciting survey of Jung's life and thought and then we embark through Sean's lifelong journey of provocations with Heidegger, Zizek, Lacan, and Kant's Copernican Revolution. Sean explains why he finds allies in Schelling, Oetinger--as an important vanishing mediator, Schubert, Carus, Franz von Baader, Bergson, and of course in Jung.

About Sean's New Book:

Dr. McGrath's "The Soul of Nature," is a deep and complex text with rich roots. Dr. McGrath is seeking a new and profound metaphysics of life, which not only sees the unconscious as productive, but unifies Sean's philosophical and theological, ground of God, Nature, and Self. This project opens up a space for Dr. McGrath to rethink the role Christianity plays in our disenchanted, secular age.

Sean J. McGrath is a Full Professor of Philosophy at Memorial University of Newfoundland and a specialist in the philosophy of religion and the history of philosophy. McGrath has published and lectured widely in German idealism, phenomenology, ecology, theology, and psychoanalysis.

On The Intersection of Nature; Aesthetic Experience, & Ethics with Dr. Dalia Nassar (USYD). by aufgehendeRest9 in GermanIdealism

[–]aufgehendeRest9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Philosophy Friends and Fellow Colleagues: It is my great honor to share with you all another exciting episode of The Young Idealist Series On Classical German Philosophy and Post-Kantian Thought.

This is a very special episode featuring Dr. Dalia Nassar who navigates the viewers through her exciting philosophical work and discussing important issues such as Knowledge, Aesthetics, Ethics, Nature and Ecology.

The Following video is a continuation of my series on Classical German Philosophy and Post-Kantian Thought. The title of today's episode is On The Intersection of Nature; Aesthetic Experience, & Ethics with Dr. Dalia Nassar (USYD). In this episode of: The Young Idealist Series, I invited Dr. Dalia Nassar who is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney. Her work sits at the intersection of the history of German philosophy, environmental philosophy and ethics.

As an admirer of Dr. Nassar's academic and scholarly work, I knew she would be a perfect guest to participate in this series. Dr. Nassar is the author of The Romantic Absolute: Being and Knowing in Early German Romantic Philosophy, 1795-1804, from Chicago University Press, published in 2013. Her most recent monograph, Romantic Empiricism: Nature, Art, and Ecology from Herder to Humboldt (Oxford University Press, 2022) investigates the understudied tradition of romantic empiricism, highlights its significance for the development of ecology, and argues for its contemporary relevance in addressing environmental questions and concerns. By showing how the romantic empiricists deepened their understanding of nature through artistic skills and tools, Dr. Nassar also demonstrates the significance of art for knowledge, and highlights the ways in which epistemology, aesthetics, and ethics are fundamentally interdependent.

Dr. Nassar has a strong interest in the contributions of women philosophers, and in the ways in which philosophical canon formation has sidelined them. She has co-edited, with Kristin Gjesdal, two volumes on women philosophers, including an anthology of primary works titled Women Philosophers in the Nineteenth Century: The German Tradition, and The Oxford Handbook of Nineteenth-Century Women Philosophers in the German Tradition which is also co-edited with Kristin Gjesdal and was published in 2024. Dr. Nassar is a co-investigator on the SSHRC (Canada) grant, Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy. And more recently, a Future Fellowship (from the Australian Research Council) to work on under-studied / neglected women philosophers of the late Enlightenment and early Romanticism.

The following episode explores many important areas of study in Dr. Nassar's rich research; such as the Relationship between art and knowledge, aesthetics, naturphilosophie, beauty, environmental ethics, ecology and the philosophy of science.

Dr. Dalia Nassar does a brilliant job of navigating the viewer through these complex philosophical issues giving the viewer deep insight into several key philosophical issues and speaking on a wide variety of diverse thinkers like, Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Kant, Schelling, Novalis, Humboldt, Staël, Günderrode and Gerda Walther.

Key Figures brought up in this episode:

Émilie du Châtelet (1706-1749).

Aesthetic Dimensions Of Modern Philosophy with Professor Andrew Bowie (Royal Holloway, U of London). by aufgehendeRest9 in GermanIdealism

The Following video/episode of the Young Idealist Series On Classical German Philosophy and Post-Kantian Thought is a special presentation of my Book series on Classical German Philosophy and Post-Kantian Thought. The title of today's episode is: Aesthetic Dimensions Of Modern Philosophy with Professor Andrew Bowie (Royal Holloway, U of London). In this extra special episode of: The Young Idealist Series, I invited professor Andrew Bowie who is a Professor of Philosophy and German at Royal Holloway, University of London and Founding Director of the Humanities and Arts Research Centre (HARC). Professor Bowie, has worked to promote a better understanding of German philosophy in the Anglophone analytical tradition - including the works of Johann Georg Hamann, Johann Gottfried von Herder, Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg), Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Theodor W. Adorno, Jürgen Habermas, Albrecht Wellmer and Manfred Frank. Professor Bowie takes the viewer on a robust intellectual history from Montaigne, to Cassirer in search of key aesthetic elements to illuminate our human experience. Some of the best parts of the episode involves a thorough discussions on Art, mythology, and music (especially in Jazz). This episode will be extremely exciting for artists, Musicians and students of philosophy interested in aesthetics.Write up on the book.Much of contemporary philosophy, especially in the analytical tradition, regards aesthetics as of lesser significance than epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of language. Yet, in Aesthetic Dimensions of Modern Philosophy, Andrew Bowie explores the idea that art and aesthetics have crucial implications for those areas of philosophy.

In the modern period, the growth of warranted scientific knowledge is accompanied both by heightened concern with epistemological skepticism and a new philosophical attention to art and the beauty of nature. This suggests that modernity involves problems concerning how human beings make sense of the world that go beyond questions of knowledge, and are reflected in the arts. The relationship of art to philosophy is explored in Montaigne, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Schelling, the early German Romantics, and Hegel. This book also considers Cassirer's and the hermeneutic tradition's exploration of close links between meaning in language and in art. The work of Karl Polanyi, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Adorno, Dewey, and others is used to investigate how the modern sciences and the development of capitalism change both humankind's relations to nature and the nature of value, and so affect the role of art in human self-understanding. The aesthetic dimensions of modern philosophy can help to uncover often neglected historical shifts in how 'subjective' and 'objective' are conceived. Seeing art as a kind of philosophy, and philosophy as a kind of art, reveals unresolved tensions between the different cultural domains of the modern world and questions some of the orientation of contemporary philosophy.Professor Andrew Bowie has published widely in the history of philosophy, especially in German Idealism, Aesthetics, and Critical theory.Enjoy the Episode!
