Overview
Chris Satoor surveys contemporary engagement with German idealism, especially Schelling, and its relevance to philosophy of nature, religion and ecological politics. The discussion follows intellectual connections among Kant, Hegel, Böhme, Habermas and post-structuralism, and considers scholarly networks, translation, Marxism, the Kyoto School and renewed interest in idealist traditions.
Description
German idealism can sound like a closed chapter in philosophy. Chris Satoor's work suggests otherwise. In our conversation, Chris recounts how a retired Kant scholar at community college drew him into the field, why he took a detour through Deleuze and French spiritualism, and how studying with Joan Steigerwald brought him back to Schelling. A doctoral candidate at York University, he also explains how his online communities became meeting places for people interested in German idealism and how he connected with Matt McManus and the Pillpod.
From Habermas's dissertation on Schelling to Sean McGrath's The Dark Ground of Spirit, we trace a lineage that includes Böhme and the philosophy of nature. Chris addresses post-structuralism, Latour and the revival of German idealism; together we explore ecology's place in Marxist thought, the left and religion, Nishitani and the Kyoto School, translation, and the North American Schelling Society.
