Shelling's Philosophy of Nature

Shelling's often thought of as an idealist and there's good reason for that but he also developed a philosophy of nature in the late 1700s. Shelling studied Ficta's philosophy very closely through the mid 1790s and began to come into his own as a philosopher by defending the Fictian point of view. He was always trying to hold this perspective in balance to keep the ego and nature more in balance with each other.
