“Kant is a legislator, Fichte a judge, Schelling a seer. But Hegel has only one desire, that of appropriation. He returns constantly to the mysteries of eating.”

— Hans Urs von Balthasar, Prometheus: Studien zur Geschichte des Deutschen Idealismus

This might be my favorite bit of commentary on German philosophy. It's just funny. Will somebody feed these German philosophers?

Hot Take: Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph was correct
The metaphysical forces that underly and underwrite human existence are both rational and irrational.

Any ontology that seeks to manage this dualism, must dialectically resolve/uplift/overcome it.

My goal is of course to provide such a Gestalt/Golden Mean.

Frederick Beiser: Hegel & Schelling want to show that vitalism is a verifiable theory

"Vitalism" means: nature has will & purpose

Kant had rejected the teleology of vitalism as unverifiable: you can't know the minds & inner purposes of minerals, vegetables, & animals

Why vitalism? Because the mechanistic understanding of nature had led philosophy into an impasse: either minds are mechanistic & not free, or there is dualism & mind is something supernatural

Kierkegaard on Schelling on "actuality":

A concept tells us what something is, while knowing something means to know *that* that thing is

You can have a concept without knowledge, a concept of something that does not exist

but you can't know anything if you don't have a concept of it.

For example, when I see a particular plant, I apply the universal concept "plant" to what I see

(I'm reading Kierkagaard's "Notes of Schelling's Berlin Lectures")
