Abstract
This article argues that when viewed as the culmination of an evolving project, Schelling’s monism ought to be understood as an existence monism as opposed to a priority monism. It makes this case through an analysis of the young Schelling’s relationship to Neoplatonism and Spinozism. After presenting Naomi Fisher’s case for reading Schelling as a priority monist inspired by the Neoplatonists it argues that the themes of eternity and duration in Spinoza’s Ethics provide Schelling the framework for defeating what he calls the “subjectivization” of reason in the 1804 System of Philosophy. This defeat is accomplished by the elimination of any ontological distinction between who knows, what is known, and knowledge itself. The elimination of these distinctions entails a form of existence monism without need for the Neoplatonic dynamics of procession and return. The article concludes with some implications of the defense of existence monism provided therein regarding the transition from Schelling’s system of identity to his system of freedom.
The article argues that the logicism through which Russell approached Kant’s antinomies possessed a distinct character, determined by: a) discovery of paradoxes, and b) theory of types as finding ways to solve them. The paper demonstrates both the strengths and weaknesses of Russell’s logicism regarding his approach to...

In his landmark 1979 book Heidegger and Sartre, and in his subsequent essays, Fell describes a quiet but radical reform in...
This article examines Peirce’s pragmaticism from the perspective of his own retrospective assessments of his work. Taking seriously Peirce’s self-criticisms and later reformulations, the paper argues that the development of pragmatism cannot be adequately understood through isolated maxims or fragmentary readings, but...
Critics of J. M. Coetzee’s Disgrace have long read its ending through the vocabularies of shame, grace, and redemption. This article argues that the novel systematically dismantles the social preconditions of redemption itself. On Lucy Lurie’s farm—a space that answers closely to Giorgio Agamben’s “state of exception”—...

The late Foucault's relative lack of attention to such ‘imagined' categories as nationalism/ideology and modernity, as diagnosed by Malešević and Hewson respectively, and his subsequent veering off toward ancient ‘techniques and cultures of the self’, ought to be linked to his profound dissatisfaction with those modern...
