Abstract

The nature has a quite distinctive role in the philosophy of Schelling. It can be considered that Schelling, who has put nature in the centre of philosophy and attempted to derive the ideal from the real, interrupted the Cartesian tradition as well as philosophies of Kant and Fichte, seeming to be the continuation of this tradition to him, and thus gave direction to the history of philosophy. His way of interpreting the nature is also distinctive when it is considered independent from the historical line. Schelling has asserted a quite comprehensive philosophy of nature which collects philosophical accumulation and scientific developments of his age in it and tried to offer solutions for philosophical and scientific problems of the age. He has designed a dynamic nature against the mechanism dominating the scientific understanding of the age and tried to surpass the current disconnection which he has claimed to exist between the nature and spirit.

Keywords

Schelling, freedom, nature, spirit, organism, dynamism.

SCHELLİNG’İN DİNAMİK DOĞA TASARIMI

Abstract

Doğanın Schelling’in felsefesinde oldukça belirleyici bir rolü bulunmaktadır. Felsefesinin merkezine doğayı koyan ve ideal olanı reel olandan türetme girişiminde bulunan Schelling’in, ortaya koyduğu doğa felsefesi aracılığıyla Kartezyen geleneği ve onun bir devamı olarak gördüğü Kant’ın ve Fichte’nin felsefelerini kesintiye uğrattığı ve böylelikle felsefe tarihine farklı bir yön verdiği söylenebilir. Onun doğayı anlamlandırma biçimi tarihsel çizgiden bağımsız olarak ele alındığında da yine ayırt edici bir niteliğe sahiptir. Schelling, çağının felsefi birikimini ve bilimsel gelişmelerini kendinde toplayan, yaşadığı zaman diliminin felsefi ve bilimsel sorunlarına çözüm getirmeye çalışan oldukça kapsamlı bir doğa felsefesi ortaya koymuştur. Döneminin bilim anlayışına damga vuran mekanizm karşısında dinamik bir doğa tasarlamış, doğa ile tin arasında var olduğunu öne sürdüğü mevcut kopukluğu böylelikle aşmaya çalışmıştır.

Keywords

Schelling, özgürlük, doğa, tin, organizma, dinamizm.
