Invitation to Join us at NASS 9:
The Metropolitan Autonomous University Campus Iztapalapa (UAM-I) and the North American Schelling Society (NASS) invite you to participate in the 9th NASS Meeting that will take place from the 3rd to the 5th of June 2026 in Mexico City.
The conference’s theme is spirit and nature. The reflection and clarification of the meaning, character, distinction, and set of relationships that spirit and nature maintain between themselves have constituted central problems of philosophy since its beginnings. What is the relationship between the orders of physis and nomos?
The answer has often been presented in modern philosophy through various dichotomies: the human being and nature, the subject and the object, freedom and necessity, the spiritual and the material, etc.
