Genealogy and Belonging. Reproduction, Decent and Kinship in Post-Kantian Naturphilosophie

生殖和亲属关系既是同步的，又是历时的，因此总是有谱系的维度，从根本上构成了社会世界。这些关系受到文化、社会和政治冲突和接触的影响。在历史变革的情况下，关于生物的谱系和起源以及关于社会和自然秩序的归属形式的科学、艺术和哲学辩论激增。不仅在家庭形式、亲属关系和生殖过程本身正在经历深远的社会、文化和技术变革的当下，情况也是如此。1800年前后的几十年也是由生殖、血统和亲属关系的广泛问题化所塑造的。该研究项目始于这样一种假设，即新兴生命科学中的理论辩论和密切相关的自然哲学反思在这一背景下发挥着至关重要的作用。该项目的目的是系统地重建后康德自然哲学中“生殖”、“血统”和“亲属”等主题的哲学和科学表述，并确定它们对该时期社会和文化变革的影响。分析的主题是康德之后的德国“自然哲学”，首先是因为它提供了一个相对连贯的论述形式，其中主题相关的科学和哲学反思重叠。其次，后康德自然哲学是一个文本语料库--除了谢林和黑格尔最突出的贡献之外--到目前为止很少被分析。该研究项目分为三个部分，其中围绕以下主题重点分析了生殖、血统和亲属关系的概念：1)生殖、血统和人类多样性；2)性、性别和家庭亲属关系；3)生殖、血统和人与非人类生物的关系。

Relations of reproduction and kinship, which are constituted both synchronically and diachronically and thus always have a genealogical dimension, structure the social world in a fundamental way. These relations are subject to cultural, social and political conflict and engagements. In situations of historical transformation scientific, artistic and philosophical debates on the genealogy and origin of living beings and on forms of belonging to social and natural orders proliferate. This is not only true with regard to the present, in which family forms, kinship relations and the process of reproduction itself are undergoing far-reaching social, cultural and technological change. The decades around 1800 are also shaped by an extensive problematization of relations of reproduction, descent and kinship. The research project starts from the assumption that the theoretical debates in the emerging life sciences and the closely related natural-philosophical reflections play a crucial role in this context. The aim of the project is to systematically reconstruct the philosophical and scientific articulations of the topics 'reproduction', 'descent' and 'kinship' in post-Kantian philosophy of nature and to determine their impact on the social and cultural transformations of the period. The subject matter of the analysis is German 'Naturphilosophie' after Kant, firstly, because it offers a relatively coherent discursive formation in which thematically relevant scientific and philosophic reflections overlap. Secondly, post-Kantian Naturphilosophie is a textual corpus that - apart from the most prominent contributions of Schelling and Hegel - has rarely been analyzed up to now. The research project is divided into three parts, in which concepts of reproduction, descent and kinship are analyzed with regard to the following thematic focal points: 1) reproduction, descent and human diversity, 2) sexuality, gender and familial kinship, 3) reproduction, descent and relations of human and non-human living beings.
