| Abstract [eng] |
The already problematic relationship between nature and thought in this work is explored based on the interpretation of F. W. J. Schelling's Naturphilosophie by the contemporary speculative philosopher I. H. Grant. Nature traditionally understood by philosophy and natural sciences is here requalified from the point of view that it is now neither assumed as the totality of empirically recognizable bodies nor the logical determination of thinking. Rather, nature is what accommodates and grounds both of these approaches. Paying special attention to I. Kant's transcendental idealism and its legacy, which in a philosophical context leads to the impossibility of thinking about nature, a critical approach to transcendental philosophy and its closedness of the mind is provided, along with proposition of naturephilosophical alternative. The naturephilosophical alternative is assumed as a kind of materialist approach, based on which, by integrating thinking into nature, the claim of thinking‘s definitions about nature is justified. Here, in contrast to transcendental philosophy, which divides the world into two parts, the isolated reason and the true reality of things-in-themselves, we are talking about one world in which thinking and nature remain in a reciprocal relationship, but without the possibility of exhaustively defining each other. |
