Philosophy of nature and objective idealism: A reading of HegelÊs systematic posture according to D. Wandschneider and V. Hösle

Resumo:

 As a consequence of the understanding of philosophy as transcendental reflection by Kant and of the emergence of the modern, autonomous sciences of nature, the philosophy of nature known in the tradition of objective idealism disappeared from the philosophical scenario. Thus, its resumption in German idealism by Schelling and Hegel constitutes a major renewal vis-à-vis the form of philosophy proposed by Kant and Fichte. Is it possible for us today, after Kant and the analytical theory of 20th century sciences, to grasp the theoretical significance of such an understanding of nature? It is noteworthy that the renewal of Hegel studies in the past century did not include the philosophy of nature of Hegel’s system, which only took place in the ’1970s. This essay focuses on the systematic question: why does objective idealism imply a philosophy of nature in the traditional sense and to what extent is this proposal different both from a transcendental philosophy of nature and the analytical theory of natural scientes?
