Over the past 25 years\, the recognition that genetics and Darwinism are not sufficient to fully explain organisms &mdash\; since only living beings can contain genes and undergo evolution &mdash\; has led to a renewed philosophical engagement with the question of life. The organism has drawn attention both as an ontological reality and as an epistemological category. This growing interest involves a reconsideration of the ideas of the German Romantics and Idealists &mdash\; among them Kant\, Goethe\, Schelling\, and Hegel &mdash\; as well as of twentieth-century organicist thinkers. Whereas Kant and Schelling examined the epistemological preconditions for grasping the organic\, Goethe developed a phenomenological method for understanding life. The Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner analyzed Goethe&rsquo\;s approach in depth and gave rise to a largely overlooked tradition of empirical research. The conference will explore the challenge of cognizing the organism from historical\, ontological\, metaphysical\, epistemological\, and Goethean perspectives.
