Peregrinations and Pathways: Malabou, Schelling, and Plasticity

This paper explores the relationship between the thought of Catherine Malabou and F. W. J. Schelling. It places Malabou and Schelling in a “plastic” dialogue to open up new aspects of and questions about Malabou’s concept of plasticity, and uses Malabou’s thought to open up ethico-political possibilities in and argue for the contemporary relevance of Schelling, ultimately exploring ways that these thinkers can mutually re-shape one another.
