Naomi Fisher is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. She earned her Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in 2016, and prior to that earned her M.S. in physics from UC Davis.

Her research focuses on Kant and German Idealism and Romanticism, specifically the relationship between nature, freedom, and rationality in Kant and Schelling. Currently, she is working on projects related to the impact of Plato and Neoplatonism on Schelling’s philosophy. She also has interests in the broader history of philosophy, philosophy of science, and philosophy of religion.

In her talk, she discusses: 

  1. The disconnect between epiphanies and everyday thought
  2. On the function of imagination in philosophy
  3. The philosophy of art according to Schelling
  4. Manifesting the divine through the power of imagination
  5. Comparing Schelling’s work to the Romantics
