"Only those who can resign themselves to accepting the total annihilation of all objects of desire as well as subjectivity--only those whose desire is free of all desire--can face their own death with "naturalness," & be restored to life as one who has died to the world & to self." -- Tanabe Hajime

so pleased that *Romantic Empiricism* is now out in Paperback for a much more reasonable price! *And it is slightly revised - with some important additions of reference to works that appeared in the last few years* global.oup.com/academic/pro...

I have met so many people in Academia, who refer to me as "friend" and who I thought were my friends. I went out of my way to help promote their work and share their ideas with the world only for those same "people" behind closed doors to say some very nasty things about me and even gossip to their

One of the highlights of my academic career was when The Faculty of Graduate Studies at York University featured an expose on my YouTube Series: The Young Idealist Series. In July of 2025, FGS posted a short article in their monthly review of current student academic achievements. #TheYoungIdealist

At the private school I work at, I have been teaching epic poetry; narrative, and the Heroes journey to my grade 9's and 10's. We started reading Beowulf and the kids are really loving the material!

Ok fine. Sometimes the internet is still a wondrous place. Just found a full PDF of H.E.G. Paulus's unauthorized publication of Schelling's 1841-42 lectures on the Philosophy of Revelation. If you're interested in a copy hit me up. The file is huge but I'll do my best to get it to you.

Void

Ruins.

Never in my life have I been as unhappy as I am currently.

It really is a shame to see so many Hegelians & Marxists continue to dismiss Schelling's philosophy through the same old hostile tropes. Most of these slanderous views were from Heinrich Heine, & Hegel himself, who quite honestly, never understood Schelling's systematic project.

"But if the two principles are in discord, another spirit usurps the place where God should be, namely the reversed god." --F. W. J. Schelling, 1809 (Painting by Francisco de Goya - Ghostly vision, 1801).

"This is the sadness that clings to all finite life [...] the deep indestructible melancholy of all life" --F. W. J. Schelling, Freiheitsschrift, 1809

James Gutmann (the 1936 translator of the first edition of the Freedom Essay) called Schelling the Prince of Romanticism, If Schelling was the Prince of Romanticism then surely Novalis was the King of Romanticism, and Karoline von Günderrode, the Queen of Romanticism!

Coming up next on #TheYoungIdealist Series: Adorno's Aesthetic theory: The autonomy of art, Beautiful semblance, & the historical unfolding of meaning with Distinguished Professor of German, Emeritus, Dr. Rolf Goebel (University of Alabama, Huntsville).

There is something oddly true about the claim that reality consists of nothing but Death, taxes and suffering.

"What is most profound in nature is also melancholy; for it too, mourns a lost good, & likewise, such an indestructible melancholy inheres in all forms of life." -- F.W.J. Schelling, (7,466), Stuttgarter Privatvorlesungen, 1810.

It feels difficult to over state the degree to which every single university library would benefit from purchasing this collection. Günderrode’s philosophical project is of the utmost contemporary importance and Anna has done us all a great service with her work on this collection.

My friend & Colleague @annaezekiel.bsky.social has been doing outstanding scholarship. Anna has been editing translating, & introducing us all about the exciting poetic, & philosophical works of Karoline von Günderrode. Having Günderrode's work in English is an immense achievement for academia!
