Description du projet
Étudier la philosophie de la nature de Schelling pour aborder la crise environnementale
L’état actuel de l’environnement alimente les discussions sur la nature. Des décideurs politiques aux scientifiques et au public, des questions émergent sur ce qu’est la nature et si elle va au-delà des sciences naturelles. Le projet SCHELLEC, financé par l’UE, vise à mettre en lumière et à explorer la pertinence contemporaine de la philosophie de Schelling, développée au tournant du XIXe siècle, pour aborder l’unité de la nature au-delà des phénomènes étudiés par les disciplines scientifiques émergentes et le statut de l’humanité par rapport à cette unité. Enfin, le projet abordera cette question en associant la philosophie de Schelling au monde actuel de l’urgence climatique, établissant un lien entre les approches anthropocentriques et non anthropocentriques de la nature.
Objectif
The contemporary environmental crisis has triggered a revival of discussions on the concept of nature. Among scientists, philosophers, policy makers and citizens questions regarding environmental practices and the overall state of nature have become a matter of central concern. But what exactly is nature beyond the specific phenomena studied by specialized natural sciences, such as physics, chemistry or biology? Is there something else beyond these particular phenomena? What is the relationship between these phenomena and humanity? Do humans have a special status in relation to nature? On my account, these questions are at the core of the philosophy of nature that Schelling developed at the turn of the 19th century in response to the increasing instrumentalization of nature. More precisely, I take Schelling’s philosophy of nature to address versions of these same questions, especially as regards (a) the unity of nature beyond the phenomena studied by emerging scientific disciplines such as chemistry and biology, and (b) the status of humanity in relation to this unity. The overall aim of the project is to bring out the contemporary relevance of Schelling’s philosophy of nature by investigating it as an attempt to address these challenges. Counteracting mystical readings of Schelling’s project, I will argue (1) that he is concerned with the elaboration of a unified account of the phenomena studied in the natural sciences; (2) that his theory of self-organization aims to provide such an account; (3) that he conceives of the distinction between humans and non-human forms of nature as a distinction of degree; and (4) that this conception of nature as the manifestation of different degrees of self-organization is relevant to contemporary debates in that it forges a middle path between anthropocentric and non-anthropocentric approaches to nature.
