Hey, this is a partially examined life episode 322 Part 2.

We've been discussing Project Wilhelm Joseph Shellings mostly on the relation between the

plastic arts and nature from 1807, and we will get to some of his system of transcendental

idealism Part 6 from 1800, which was the thing that actually influenced these romantics

that we've already been reading, what we've been discussing was written after pretty much

everything else we've read, 1807 versus for August Schlagel and 1795 for Schiller and

somewhere around there for the Friedrich Schlagel stuff.

Where did we want to start?

I think we should stay in the plastic arts and nature.

It might be a small point to talk about for a little bit, but he does make a significant

distinction between sculpture and painting, and I wondered if it was worth talking about

that, and also the absence of talking about written poetry or music.

May I say it's the plastic arts and nature, maybe?

What's being unveiled or is right in front of them?

Sure, he's giving the speech or some statues, I guess.

Maybe some paintings too?

I don't know, but...

I have good notes for most of this essay, except for one section where I just might not

say, painting versus sculpture, pages 25 to 29.

So Dylan, you're going to lead the way on this.

The big thing on painting was that it was more able to capture the vitality than sculpture

was at the beginning of 25.
