On the one hand, philosophy of nature represents a line of continuity along which the whole Schelling’s philosophical journey develops in its various phases; on the other hand, the relevance of Schelling’s philosophy of nature to the contemporary debates cannot be properly understood but in the wider context of that entire journey. This issue of “Rivista di Estetica” has two main aims: examining how and to which extent the contemporary international debate on New Realism brought to the forefront Schelling’s Naturphilosophie; and exploring the value of Schelling’s Naturphilosophie as a theoretical resource for several fiel...

Filosofia dell’animalita sheds light on the implications of animality and helps us to focus on the (bio)political consequences of this topic. In Cimatti’s view, the rethinking of human animality is based fundamentally on the recognition of what Deleuze called “absolute immanence”. In the second part of my essay I submit to criticism exactly this latter concept, or more specifically the statement that identifies human animality with absolute immanence, that is to say with an embodiment that is not defined through language. In particular, I raise the two following complementary objections: (a) Transcendence is a dimension of the human body regardless of language (b) Animality is not the place of the absolute immanence, but it is rather a continuous dialectics of...

The various contributions to this volume embrace the task of rethinking natural purposiveness in accordance with natural science. They set out from the issue of whether, and in which form, it is possible to talk of purposes in nature, without resorting to an account requesting some intentional agent. The legitimacy of such a notion as that of internal teleology has been addressed, together with the issue of what the term 'internal' properly denotes. It is meant to be an alternative both to the position of those who assume that teleology in biology requires a dimension transcending nature itself and find in teleological language an argument for the Intelligent Designer, and to the stance of those who aim to eliminate teleology from scientific inquiry altogether.
